Salt & Light is a brand that is dedicated to empowering individuals and bringing about lasting change by affirming their dignity. Unlike one-way giving models that can unintentionally communicate that individuals have nothing of value to contribute, Salt & Light believes in creating opportunities for people to utilize their talents in productive and meaningful ways. By doing so, they aim to reinforce individuals' competence and confidence in acquiring resources, while also instilling a sense of pride that comes from providing for themselves and their families.

The brand also encourages individuals to volunteer and offers a volunteer scheduling portal, where volunteers can earn store credit.
