Shane & Pepper Candle Company

Welcome to the heartwarming journey of Shane and Pepper!

Shane, a tenacious young entrepreneur and pediatric stroke survivor with cerebral palsy, and Pepper, his dependable mobility service dog, share an unbreakable bond and an inspirational story. Their journey began in 2016 when they launched a unique fundraiser, crafting natural soy candles to raise funds for Pepper through a nonprofit organization, 4 Paws for Ability.

Candles hold a special place in Shane's heart. As a baby and toddler, he was fascinated by their tranquil glow. This calming experience is what he seeks to share with you each time you light one of his handcrafted candles.

2020 marked the birth of the Shane and Pepper Candle Company. Our soy candles are not only natural and serve a purpose but also boast environmentally conscious traits – they are vegan-friendly, biodegradable, cruelty-free, and non-toxic. But we go beyond just an online presence. We invite you to our brick-and-mortar Candle Store located in Lansdale, where you can witness firsthand where your candles are created and our abilities team in action. This personal touch is what sets us apart!

However, Shane's vision doesn't end with candles. As the founder of The Shane & Pepper Foundation, he is passionate about empowering, employing, and promoting inclusion and disability awareness in the disability community, the largest minority globally, yet with the lowest employment rates. Shane's resolve is to shatter these stigmas and provide equal opportunities for all.

The Ability Workforce program, Shane's pioneering initiative, provides vocational, social, life, and entrepreneurial skills. It fosters an environment of inclusion, equality, and equity, focusing on bringing disability awareness to the forefront. Our emphasis is not on disability, but on ability, empowering and instilling confidence in individuals of all abilities.

Be the light. Be the change.
