Matthew Mewbourne is giving locals and others a chance to give back to the community through his homemade candle business, Rekindle Athens. He, along with Kayley Anderkin, founded the company in fall 2016.

Rekindle Athens sells candles in mason jars, tin cans and ceramics in a variety of fragrances. They use a mixture of synthetic and essential oils for fragrances such as Wassail and Cinnamon Chai. They sell online, but first started with farmers markets.
