We at Gardners Candies are tremendously appreciative of the success we have had in our community and surrounding areas. We have always made a priority of giving generously to many worthy causes.

We receive numerous charitable requests daily, and while it would be impossible for us to fulfill all the requests we receive, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to support as many as possible.

Additionally, over 1000 groups and organizations that utilize a Gardners Candies fundraising program also request donations, to which Gardners Candies is first and foremost, obliged to reciprocate our support. Gardners Candies contributes thousands of dollars per year to those that qualify for our criteria for giving. We review each request on an individual basis and take our gifting seriously.

We will send an e-mail response within one week of receiving the request if you qualify. It is not necessary to follow-up with a phone call or email. If you do not receive an email confirming your request, you did not meet our criteria for giving.
