When I started Chicks & Wicks, I knew I wanted it to be more than just a candle company.
Of course, I love creating beautiful candles that help people slow down, relax, and find a little peace in their day. But I also wanted this business to be a way to support the community that is supporting me.
As a mom, healthcare provider, small business owner, and animal lover, I understand how important it is to care for one another. Whether it’s helping a family through a difficult season or providing a safe place for animals waiting for their forever homes, small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact.
That’s why giving back has been part of the vision for Chicks & Wicks from the very beginning.
More Than a Candle
Every candle tells a story.
Some candles remind us to slow down after a long day. Some help us celebrate special moments. Others simply make a house feel more like home.
Our community candles tell a different kind of story—one of hope, compassion, and support.
For our launch, we are honored to support two local organizations that are making a difference right here in our community.
The Care Closet • Warm Embrace
Warm Embrace was created to support the Care Closet, an organization dedicated to helping local children and families in need.
Every child deserves to feel cared for, supported, and valued. Through programs that provide meals to families, the Care Closet helps ensure children have access to items many of us take for granted.
When you purchase Warm Embrace, you’re helping extend that support to local families while filling your home with a comforting scent designed to make you feel right at home.
The Humane Society Lake County • Fresh Start
Fresh Start was created in support of the Humane Society of Lake County.
Animals deserve safety, love, and a chance at a better future. The Humane Society works tirelessly to care for animals in need while helping them find loving forever homes.
With every Fresh Start candle purchased, you’re helping support the important work they do for animals throughout our community.
Why It Matters
As a small business, I may not be able to change the world overnight.
But I believe small businesses can create meaningful change one step at a time.
Every purchase, every share, every recommendation, and every candle burned in someone’s home helps support not only my dream, but also organizations working hard to make our community stronger.
Thank You
