Candy shop fundraiser nets $2,800 for clinic

Susanne and Katie Anderson, who are fourth generation candy makers from Anderson’s Candy Shop headquartered in Richmond, raised $2,800 for Family Health Partnership Clinic by selling chocolate over the holiday season.

The “The Give Back Box” fundraiser was an idea they came up with to honor their mother and support the clinic and its mission. Their mother died of breast cancer in 2011 when she let her health condition worsen because she had no health insurance and did not realize she could have received help from Family Health Partnership Clinic.

The Anderson sisters teamed up with Family Health Partnership Clinic for the fundraiser and sold more than 750 boxes during the holiday season.
