The Retreat's Holiday Candle Fundraiser
The Retreat is dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and trafficking across Long Island by providing a wide range of vital, free services—including safe shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and a 24/7 hotline. Through our work, we aim to be a beacon of hope for individuals and families in need.
Our comprehensive programs not only support survivors on their journey to healing but also foster resilience and prevention within the community. We offer counseling, housing support, and legal advocacy, and we work in local schools to deliver prevention education that addresses the root causes of violence. Additionally, we collaborate with fathers, equipping them with the skills to become positive, supportive parents.
As we look to the future, we are excited to further expand our outreach and deepen our impact, with a strong focus on supporting young people vulnerable to sex and labor trafficking. Through these initiatives, we strive to break the cycles of violence and create a safer, more empowered Long Island community. We have offices in Hauppauge, Riverhead, Central Islip and East Hampton. We also have a 24 hour hotline at 631-329-2200.
Every purchase helps ensure that The Retreat serves some of the most vulnerable in our communities, providing the services and resources they need to be safe and to heal.
Each candle is dual sided: one side with The Retreat's logo and the other with the candle's scent. The Holiday trio set includes the Mistletoe, Pomegranate Cider, & Sugar Cookie candles. All purchases are gift wrapped and ready for giving.

More about Candles for a Cause by Matthew James Heart & Home
Jamie started handcrafting small batch skincare as a law student as a means of self-care. The ability to create allowed her to put mental health front of mind, making something that made her glow on the inside and out. It most importantly allowed her to channel positive thinking while her brother, Matthew (“Matt”) James, struggled with addiction. Ultimately, Matt succumbed to his addiction on Christmas Eve, 2014. While her family grieved, she brainstormed ways she could commemorate Matthew’s memory. Jamie realized how important self-care was during her brother’s struggles in addiction and recovery. Matthew James Heart & Home (“MJHH”) combines her passion for self-care and advocacy for people like Matt who never had the ability to love himself enough and put self-care first. MJHH is a self-care brand stocked with products that puts your self-care first, reminding us to form a strong connection between our body and mind. This is not just another self-care brand, it’s a movement for a better tomorrow.
In keeping true to our brand’s mission, Jamie established the Matthew J. Ruiz Memorial Foundation helping families on Long Island + beyond who are affected by the opioid and drug epidemic. MJHH is a proud supporter of the work the Foundation continues to do. We know that Matty is so proud that we can make a small difference to those who are suffering from addiction.
