Are you aware that Salt & Light goes beyond serving individuals dealing with the challenges of financial poverty? We deeply understand that poverty is more than a lack of material goods. It is also a lack of connection, opportunities, encouragement, and positive self-regard. With that, our team looks to connect with and provide opportunities to our entire community. Who does our mission serve?
- Job Seekers – Our volunteer credit program provides an accessible work environment that helps gain skills, experience, and work history, and our stores bring jobs to neighborhoods in need.
- Students and Youth – We offer opportunities all the way from volunteering for kids as young as 6, to research, internship, and project opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
- Senior Citizens – Our seniors can not only earn store credit to supplement their income, but also shop at reduced prices, learn new technology skills, and contribute their valuable gifts and experience as volunteers in our programs.
- Community Workers – We’re uniquely suited for partnership opportunities with other organizations, and ideally located as a connection point for services and resources of all kinds.
Our unique approach extends far beyond solely addressing material poverty. We strive to empower and uplift the entire community, creating opportunities for lasting change for everyone.
