About Us

Hi Friends!

Ida and I created a non-profit organization called Candles for Hope Food Pantry.

We're on a mission to end hunger in our community. And we'd like you to join us.

Did you know that last year more than 47 million Americans lived in households where they didn't have enough food to eat?

Even today, many don't know where their next meal is going to come from!

This shouldn't be happening. And we can no longer stand by and just let it happen. Not if we can do something about it.

Ida and I look at our lives and we know we've been abundantly blessed.

Now it's time to bless others.

Here's how you can help us...

Our mission to end hunger is powered by the sale of handcrafted candles we make in our home.

We're using the proceeds of these candle sales to package and deliver food to needy people. Some of the food donations come from grocery stores, food manufacturers and even other food pantries.

We're starting small and hoping to grow the pantry over time. We know there are lots of families who need help, especially with the price of food continuing to rise.

If you would like to support us, we would really appreciate that.

Here's what you can do to help us make sure no one goes hungry tonight:

• Select your candles from this website and add to cart
• The checkout process is very simple. We take ShopPay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Google Pay or any credit/debit card
• If candles aren't your thing, that's ok. If you believe in what we're doing and would still like to contribute, we added an option for a donation.

Ida and I thank you in advance and look forward to your support. Love and blessings to you all!

 - Erik, Ida and the entire Candles for Hope Team!
