Anyone know where I can get wedding favors that some or all of my money spent will go to a charity?

I would prefer a Catholic or some other christian charity, but almost any charity would do. Like a hospital or something family related...

I know St. Jude's Hospital did some candles for a while but I don't see them anymore. They just have scrolls, but I'd like something my guests can actually take home and use. (like a candle)

Update:

Thank you so much for all the answers! They were all pretty good. I actually was looking at the "Truffles for a Cause" website when I came back and saw someone posted it haha. I think I'll go with this one. Thanks again!

    The Make-A-Wish Foundation has a HUGE selection of items you can purchase online and they have a custom section. They guarantee that 35%-40% of every purchase goes to help sick children see their dreams come true. It is a great organization that brings smiles to terminally ill kids.

    St Jude offers a similar program to the Make_A-Wish Foundation. If you purchase items fromt heir website, all profits go to the charity.

    If you go to various charity websites, you'll find that most of them have a section of items they are selling where the profits are donated to that charity. It may not be specifically written on the item that money has been given to charity, but if you want to provide a little card stating so, I'm sure you could make one. I'm sure you'll find something you can use!

    Also, to further giving to charity, I registered with the I Do Foundation. The I Do Foundation is a gift registry that partners up with a lot of popular stores and gives a portion of the price of every gift purchased to the charity of your choice at no extra cost! You guests just need to buy the gifts you've registered for through your free I Do Foundation website and you raise money for the cause of your choice and there's hundreds of charities to choose from! If you're going to have a gift registry, you might as well have one that gives back!

    Instead of buying actual favors, just donate a lump sum to an organization if your choice. Then either put a card explaining that on each table or put a 8X10 poster type announcement on the guest book table or place card table explaining "In Lieu of favors the bride and groom have donated to X organization". That will be much easier for you and less stressful, and I'm sure all your guests will appreciate it.

    You could buy Girl Scout cookies and wrap a few up in cello for each favor. This would afford you several favors out of each box; and you can't go wrong because everyone likes Girl Scout cookies! It's not exactly a "charity" but the proceeds do go towards supporting the GSA organization.

    Try going to catholicharities.com and asking there. I know that The American Cancer Society has scrolls that they give as favors, and there are other cancer related favors out there.

    But, you could make some of your own candles and then attach a handmade favor tag stating your donation.
