Every Candle Tells a Story — Handcrafted by Adults Facing Barriers to Employment

We Can Achieve, We Can Inspire

Did you know 75% of adults with intellectual disabilities do not have paid employment? Even among those who do, many earn less than minimum wage or work only a few hours a week.

At We Candle Co., we’re here to change that. Our mission goes beyond candle-making—we create fairly paid employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those facing barriers to work. Each candle we craft is a symbol of empowerment, purpose, and possibility.

We aim to transform lives and cultivate purpose. Our employees not only gain meaningful, fairly paid employment—they also experience belonging, confidence, and personal growth.

  • Inspire businesses to embrace inclusivity
  • Provide fair wages and meaningful work to those who need it most
  • Empower families to imagine new opportunities for their loved ones
  • Empower individuals to discover their potential
  • Encourage communities to provide support, advocacy, and employment opportunities
  • Build a community that celebrates achievement and inspires change

We are lighting a movement toward a world that recognizes and celebrates everyone’s contributions. Through our “Meet the Maker” initiative, we share the inspiring stories of our artisans, creating connections between our customers and the people behind each product.
