Our Services

Lights Back On has a big heart and love for people. We connect families and individuals with services to enhance their overall quality of life.

Utility Assistance

Lights Back On provides low-income families with a voucher covering their utility bills. No one should be without energy and water resources due to affordability or job loss.

Housing Assistance

Short-term housing assistance includes help funding rent or mortgage expenses. Temporary hotel stays are covered in emergency situations.

Food/Grocery Assistance

Providing non-perishable foods, household essentials, and personal care items is fundamental for struggling families, individuals, and anyone in need.

Our Team

“Our outlook on helping vulnerable populations is different because we do not just talk about it, but have gone through the trials you may be facing. Poverty has no friends and we want to help prevent others from having to go through the same struggles we had to go through during that time.”
