We serve our neighbors. We're a leveling ground where relationships matter more than transactions. Our mission goes beyond financial assistance—we believe in walking alongside those we help as they seek increased stability and hope for a brighter future. If you're able to visit RVA Light periodically and maintain connection with our staff and community, you're exactly who we're here to serve. Together, we're building supportive community centered on the love of Jesus.

The best way to access our services is to speak to us personally. Make an appointment below or come and visit us at RVA Light during opening hours.

Please note: While walk-ins are always welcome, scheduling an appointment ensures we can dedicate focused time to review your application and discuss your needs. During busier days, our capacity for detailed sit-down conversations may be limited.

Together we will:

• Sit down with you personally

• Review your application together

• Determine what assistance you qualify for
