Easthampton candle company creating opportunities for women and beautiful gifts
This week is National Small Business Week and with Mother’s Day coming up, Western Mass News stopped by one local candle and gift company to find out more about their presence in the community.
“People are always looking for really meaningful gifts and all of our gifts are poured by woman who have created a better life for themselves, so people feel really inspired by our gifts,” said Patsy Kauffman Barber, co-owner of Prosperity Candle in Easthampton.
Prosperity Candle is a local candle and gift company that works to create opportunities while selling ethically sourced goods.
“Our mission here is to provide living wage work for women artisans who have formally been refugees and they are now resettled here in the United States,” Barber added.
