The Dream is Officially "Open" for Support!
Today, we’re lighting the first match. 🕯️☕️
Hi everyone,
I’m sitting here reflecting on how far we’ve come. What started as a small dream—hand-pouring Third Creek Candles and sharing them with you—has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.
You’ve told me you love the scents, but you’ve also shown me that you crave the feeling those candles represent: Warmth. Comfort. A moment of peace.
That’s why today, I am so emotional and excited to officially launch our fundraiser to build the Third Creek Storefront: A Sanctuary on Main Street.
The Vision is Clear: We aren't just opening a shop. We are building a community anchor where you can grab a morning coffee at the drive-thru, meet a friend for artisan ice cream in our sun-drenched seating area, and pick up fresh local flowers and produce on your way home.
Why We Need You:
To turn this empty storefront into the "Third Space" our town deserves, we need to raise a good amount. This will fund our espresso bar, our ice cream creamery, and the beautiful community tables where I hope to see all of you sitting very soon.
How You Can Help Today:
Donate: No amount is too small. Every dollar is a brick in this building.
Share: Send this to three people who love local coffee and handmade goods.
Believe with us: Your encouragement is what keeps this heart-led business beating.
Thank you for being part of the Third Creek family. Let’s build this sanctuary together.
With so much heart,
Haley Shue
Founder, Third Creek Candles
