The Fragrance of Friendship

Our Mission

Our goal is to work with refugee women to provide employment, to build relationships and to share the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Each of our candle makers is a precious gift from the Lord and we want each woman to feel supported, encouraged and deeply loved by our heavenly Father. A wonderful way to support our mission is by purchasing our hand-poured candles, and sharing our mission with your friends and family. 

Our Story

Intertwined Candles are handmade by refugee women living in Clarkston, Georgia using all-natural soy wax. Each purchase of an Intertwined candle allows these makers to create a brighter future for their families. Nestled just outside of Atlanta is a small town known as "the most diverse square mile in America". For decades, people from over 40 countries have come to Clarkston, Georgia to escape war and other unimaginable circumstances. Despite very different backgrounds, the refugee women of Clarkston impacted the lives of a small group of American women. As their hearts and lives were woven together, Intertwined Candles was born to let the light of their friendship shine in your life too! We are a non-profit that began in 2016 to provide meaningful, sustainable work for refugees living in Clarkston, Georgia.
