About Salt & Light (S&L)

We are a non-denominational 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 doors first opened January 2004 in Champaign IL as we began handing out food and clothing to local families. Very quickly we became the largest emergency food program in Champaign County and a leader in the community for providing access to basic 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 help families with 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 move away from just providing things to offering opportunities for people to 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.
