About Salt & Light (S&L)

We are a nondenominational Christian nonprofit not affiliated with any one church rather working with many different individuals churches businesses and organizations in fulfilling our mission and vision.

Our doorsfirst opened January 2004in Champaign ILaswebeganhanding out food and clothing to local families. Very quickly we became the largest emergency food program in Champaign Countyand a leader in the community for providing access to basic resources. In addition to the weekly assistance provided through the food pantry and clothing closet we partnered with area churches and businesses in large events designed to helpfamilieswith school supplies in the fall meals at Thanksgiving and gifts at Christmas.

We later added financial education classes and a computer lab both of which represented not just the addition of new programs but signaled a desire to moveaway fromjust providing thingstooffering opportunities forpeopleto grow.

After wrestling with the theologies and ideologies found in the book When Helping Hurts we felt led to design a more developmental approach to meeting basic needs. Our new model created opportunities for individuals to acquire the resources they needed through use of the skills gifts and abilities God had given them. Instead of being handed a preselected bag of groceries our participants now shopped with store credit earned through volunteering. The stores we now operate in Urbana and Champaign are open to the entire community and generate revenue to support the store credit participants earn in addition to our other programs and services.
