Knight-Light Charities, Inc.

For some folks, the inability to pay a medical bill or afford a car repair can start a spiral of financial hardship. Although the amount may be small, clients in these circumstances do not have a safety net. Through our community partners, clients are identified who would benefit from a small monetary amount paid to resolve back due rent, emergency health bills or repair to their vehicle. Often times the amounts are too small for our community partners to be able to offer immediate help. Once the immediate crisis is resolved, our community partners look at the long term needs of these clients to ensure they have a sustainable plan going forward. We have countless examples of clients who have been saved from eviction, or who were able to afford repairs to their vehicle in order to be able to go to work. We truly fill a need in the community.

Our Needs

Over 40,000 people in Denton County live with an income below the poverty level. Over 10,000 children under the age of 18 live with an income below the poverty level. Knight-Light Charities seeks to aid those who have a temporary crisis and need immediate assistance with their rent, medical services, utility bills, or food.
We also operate a large community garden supplying fresh fruits and vegetables to the Salvation Army soup kitchen.
