Milk Jar Candle Co., founded by Holly Singer in 2016, is a purpose-driven company based in Calgary. Inspired by a deep desire to create clean-burning, beautifully scented candles and support community initiatives, Holly started the business with a vision for both high-quality craftsmanship and meaningful impact. Milk Jar produces plant-based, phthalate-free candles and has expanded its offerings to include reed diffusers, perfumes and bath products. Beyond just product excellence, the company is committed to making a difference, contributing $1 from each item sold to non-profits focused on inclusion throughout the disability community, resulting in over $366,000 + in donations.

The company also champions inclusive employment and community engagement. Their 7650-square-foot factory in Calgary serves not only as a production space but also as a welcoming retail, workshop and candle refillery venue. Here, visitors can engage in candle-making experiences, highlighting Milk Jar's mission to connect people and foster a sense of belonging. The company’s commitment to safe, inclusive workspaces and the well-being of people with disabilities reflects its foundational values and drives its continuous efforts to uplift the community.
