ABOUT


What is Salt, Light & Sunshine?

As followers of Christ we are called to be salt and light.  Matthew 5:13-16 says,  “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.  You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."  

The mission of Salt, Light and Sunshine is to brighten someone's day, let them know they are not alone in whatever life has thrown at them and share the love of Christ.

How?
Salt, Light & Sunshine creates a Box of Sunshine to be shipped or hand-delivered to the recipient.  Each box is unique and assembled with great care.  Throughout the whole process we are thinking about the recipient and praying for them.  It may be a personal friend, family member or neighbor receiving the Box of Sunshine.  Many times we have never met the person we are sending the package.  Nonetheless, our goal is to be a source of encouragement and bring a little sunshine into their day.  

Who?
Life is beautiful and wonderful, but life can also be hard.  Think about your circle of friends and family.  How many needs are represented within that group?  Three friends wanted to be a source of encouragement to those around them, thus began the Box of Sunshine idea.  We know it is not within us to solve other's problems, but we can point them to the One that can.
