PROFILE |
 |
Some of every buck you spend on a World's Finest Chocolate (WFC) fund-raising bar goes to a worthy cause. That's because the confectioner is one of the country's biggest makers of candy for fund-raisers. WFC makes chocolate bars, cocoa, and chocolate candies at its plants in Chicago, Australia, and Canada. The company has a cocoa plantation on the island of St. Lucia and owns Kinney Printing Co., which prints custom candy wrappers. The company has combined its sales force and product line with Reader's Digest fundraising sales subsidiary QSP, but continues to offer its products for direct sale from its catalog and Web site. The Opler family owns the company, which it founded in 1938.
