The scent of a Door County Candle Beachside candle in your home offers the aroma of hope for communities impacted by the latest round of hurricanes. According to NBC News, at least 223 people have died, and hundreds more are unaccounted for in the aftermath of last month's Hurricane Helene. Many residents are still without power, if not completely isolated, because of the storm's destruction. By the time they catch their breath, Hurricane Milton is expected to make its entrance into the region in the hours and days ahead. Last week, Door County Candle relaunched its Beachside candle to raise funds for hurricane relief, raising more than $4,000. Owner Christiana Trapani is thrilled that her candles continue to create change in times of need.

This is the second time the Beachside candle has been launched for hurricane relief efforts. Last year, approximately $14,000 was raised to support victims of Hurricane Ian. Trapani, her husband Nic, and their employees have been putting in extra time to make sure they can keep up with the demand for the candles. The candles for hurricane relief are a precursor to what is to come for the business when they launch scents for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Feeding America.
