OUR MISSION
The Candle Lighters, established in 1974, is made up of dedicated parents, staff and friends who are committed to raising money for non-funded programs, like Stepping Stones Early Intervention program, which are sponsored by The Arc of Essex County.
​
These programs would not operate without the privately raised funds of The Candle Lighters.
Our mission is to assist in the growth and well-being of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community.
​
When you make a contribution, you become one of the “Candles" that lights the way. Only through our combined efforts can we ensure a brighter future for these children and their families.
