A little candy.A lot of good.
Quarter candy machines around Boxford, MA, run by a kid entrepreneur. Every quarter is a sweet treat for you and a boost for local causes.
How it works
Easy as one, two, yum.
Find a Candy by Claire machine at a local Boxford business and treat yourself.
Drop a quarter
Each machine takes quarters. Pop one in the slot.
Give it a twist
Turn the knob all the way around and listen for your candy.
Enjoy, and feel good
Half of your quarter goes straight to local causes that help people and animals.
No quarters? No problem. Grab some from the quarter cup at the machine and send $1 for every 4 quarters on Venmo to @CandyByClaire.

About me
Hi, I'm Claire!
I started Candy by Claire because I wanted to learn how a real business works, and I wanted it to help others too.
I help pick the candy, fill the machines, count the quarters, and decide where the money goes. Animals and kids in our community are really important to me, so half of everything goes to the Community Giving Tree and the MSPCA at Nevins Farm.
Thank you for buying candy from my machines!
Claire
