Light a Candle, Feed a Child: How Bridgewater Candles Make a Difference
Did you know that with every Bridgewater Candle you purchase, you contribute to a brighter future for children in need? Through our partnership with Rice Bowls, we’ve turned candles into a powerful tool to combat world hunger. Want to know how it works? Let us tell you!
World Hunger: A Problem We Can’t Ignore
Every year, over 3 million children lose their
lives to hunger. It’s a staggering statistic that fuels our mission to
make a difference. For more than a decade, we’ve been committed to
addressing this global crisis with a simple yet impactful idea: Light a Candle, Feed a Child.
More Than Just Fragrance
When Bridgewater Candle Company started in 2010, we didn’t just want to
make homes smell amazing—we wanted to bring about meaningful change.
While our candles bring warmth and happiness to living rooms worldwide,
we set out to create a ripple effect of positivity that extends far
beyond comfort.
How It Works
Fighting hunger begins with providing meals. For every large or small jar candle sold, three meals are donated to a child in need, ensuring they’re fed for an entire day. Together with Rice Bowls, a non-profit organization, we support orphanages globally by providing nutritious, locally sourced meals.
From Honduras to India, South Africa to the Philippines, Rice Bowls supplies food to 58 children’s homes. The meals aren’t just filling—they’re delicious and tailored to meet the nutritional needs of growing kids.
How You Can Help
It’s simple: buy a candle, light it, and enjoy the
comforting scent. Meanwhile, your purchase helps fill a child’s belly
and brighten their day. All jar candles, including favorites like Sweet
Grace and Afternoon Retreat, are part of our “products that feed”
initiative.
So far, we’ve provided over 11 million meals, and we’re on a mission to hit 20 million. With your support, we can get there.
Gifting That Gives Back
Looking for the perfect gift? With Bridgewater Candles, you’re not just giving a thoughtful present—you’re giving hope.
A Win-Win Gift: Delight someone with a fragrant candle.

Meet the Kids You’re Helping
Every Bridgewater Candle comes with a tag featuring one of
the children we support, like Vani, Ronald, or Blessy. Their stories
remind us of the transformative power of kindness and collaboration.
Light a Candle, Feed a Child isn’t just a slogan—it’s a movement. Together, we’re changing lives, one candle at a time. Will you join us?
