Our story Established in 2013 at South Pasadena Senior High in California, the Candy Foundation Club was initially formed to support children’s education. Our initiatives included hosting online art sales, Art with Love, and organizing fundraising events, such as holiday sales next to streets and grocery stores. Our efforts allowed us to make contributions to both local and international organizations, including Maryvale Orphanage, Professional Child Development Associates, and WorldVision. Now a registered nonprofit in British Columbia, the Candy Foundation has evolved into a book-giving platform dedicated to addressing the gap in book accessibility. Motivated by the transformative power of books, we are committed to promoting reading and education, not only within our community but also supporting a variety of causes across the globe.
