For Children With Special Needs

Food Security & Family Support

Candlelight NourishCare

Because a child’s therapy shouldn’t compete with their next meal.

For families raising children with developmental disabilities, every day is a difficult balancing act. Through NourishCare, we provide practical food and family support to vulnerable households, ensuring no child goes hungry while their family fights for their wellbeing.

Caregiver and child receiving food support
Our Mission
Nutrition is foundational — not an afterthought.
The Problem

The Difficult Balancing Act

Stretching limited resources across therapy, medical appointments, and basic nutrition. Too often, food is the first thing that gets sacrificed.

Therapy & Medical

High costs and frequent appointments drain already limited family resources.

Basic Nutrition

Often sacrificed to afford essential therapies and medical care.

The Candlelight NourishCare Initiative exists to change that.
Ensuring no child with special needs goes hungry while their family fights for their wellbeing.
