Nine years ago, Michael and Lynette Richards were living in Manhattan and employing homeless families to help them make beeswax candles. Candleworks employs approximately one hundred disadvantaged Iowans, and Lynette feels they are doing their part to help make the world a little more hopeful. We try to show them they can have a fresh start here.
Employees take great pride in their work, feeling a sense of ownership themselves.
Their candles can be found at store nationwide. Harpo Inc. All rights reserved. All Rights Reserved.
