Hello my name is Alisha I am so greatful and honored to share this review on behalf of my entire family. I was given LYLS contact information and hesitantly reached out. I was unexpectantly but immediately given a response and able to express our current needs. Ellen and all her wonderful volunteers have become our "Familial Angels" Our family is in transitional housing and fallen on difficult times,nutritionally, monetarily as well as on going health struggles. Our multi-generational family dynamic is demanding and has been tested in ways I never imagined. Above and outside those of the covid epidemic. It's very humbling to be on then other side be on need while not able to be completely self-sufficient. Often times people struggle to find any resources or organizations that can offer timely assistance with out multiple demands, regulations or
extensive wait period on top of unescessary disclosures of personal information as proof of need. Let Your Light Shine is definitely unique in their mission statements of what they stand by but mostly importantly the Christ driven approach & manor they serve all their clients. I have never experienced a whole hearted readily available place of assistance with the comfort the only desire is to thoroughly connect any where you may be personally in your life. Being confident to express your struggles is generally within family and close friends that share your history. Ellen has this rare gift of reaching out in turn connecting in ways that you feel trust and believe her assistance comes with out hesitation or debt of any kind. She's motivated by her faith and the mannor that she respond is going to be personally focused. She builds appropriate relationships and her unwiting determination to make your life easier is genuinely priceless. You become confident you have someone that will do anything in her power to lesson life's burdens or find and direct you toward viable solutions. I have used food banks in the past and the quality, quantity and consistency of LYLS nutritional support far surpasses any other. We are all navigating our lives journey and the unexpected bumps in the road are now less daunting and easier with my partnership with LYLS. If you or any one you know is facing food insecurity or in need of a warm helping hand put your trust in this organization because everything they do is unconditionally heaven sent. We often travel the road with just barely a dim light in sight but with faithful charitable acts of kindness and a repitable non-profit such a this your journey will be shorter and that light will be clearly in sight and visible. We are so thankful to Ellen and her volunteers for the various forms of support and assistance you have provided. My children no longer worry or go with out choice of meals and snacks thru their help. We all look forward to any interaction with LYLS and my children look forward to participating in any upcoming cooking classes or special events. If you are in a pisition to support and organization look no further. You will be proud to partner with such an amazing program that is smaller but manages to offer opportunities for major support that directly impactacts and changes lives.
Hello. My name is Luz. We are a family of 5 people and last year we suffered a loss of a relative and consequently our mental and economic stability was affected. And with the enormous help that you have given us, I have been a great help, the food I love is very good and it caters very well to the family. I was also in cooking matter classes and I loved them, they were very talking to prepare healthy meals. I thank you and God bless you. And another very important one whenever I go for food, you are always very friendly and good.
Don’t worry about anything instead, PRAY about EVERYTHING. ♥️

This quote was on one of the food box I was given & just like “Let your light shine it’s been life changing! Ellen goes above and beyond, with her help. I’m a single mother with Zero family support here in Co, and I know I’m not Alone because of her. I was needing other assistance such as finding a Family Lawyer, and she was the first person I new who could assist in pointing me in the right direction. Not only did she help but, Ellen also went out of her way to Pray over my family and I reassuring me everything would be OK, and guess what she was right! God is good. I appreciate everything they do especially all the extra cool stuff for the kids! My daughter especially liked the cooking classes. Amen Amen Amen!
I will forever be thankful for the food support, encouragement and caring Let Your Light Shine has provided us. We have been raising our grandchildren for6+ years now. Things have been rough and it seems like it's been one thing after another. God has used them is so many ways and all because of their serving hearts. The food is nutritional and very reasonably portioned. I will always keep close to my heart the words " Your not alone" and all the prayers. Times have been difficult yet they always have a smile and kind words. I am so grateful for all the donors and manpower invested in Let Your Light Shine. You have been my Light during these dark times. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I found Let Your Light Shine on FB during the pandemic. I couldn’t leave our home as we were under Drs orders to “shelter in place “ due to my daughters extreme medical condition. At first, they would drop off some food on our front door. Then, in time, they had a contactless drive through. We would not have had any food had it not been for them.
They also helped me find someone to help us pack when we had to leave our home. I am forever grateful for their respect, kindness and assistance. Amazing people who no matter what they go through, they put others first. It saddens me to hear that their truck was stolen. If you can help the financially please do. Many will benefit from your kindness.
