About Us
LightsBackOn is a nonprofit organization committed to restoring light and hope to communities facing darkness. Our mission is to provide essential lighting solutions to individuals and families affected by natural disasters, poverty, or limited access to electricity. We distribute solar-powered lamps and lanterns to areas in need—offering comfort, security, and a sense of normalcy in challenging times. Through strategic partnerships and community engagement, we identify and address the most pressing needs, ensuring that no one is left in the dark.
At LightsBackOn, we believe that access to light is a fundamental human right. By harnessing the power of sustainable technology, we illuminate pathways to resilience and empowerment for those we serve.
We are proud to collaborate with organizations that share our commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities. Through our partnership with Restoring One’s Hope, we provide assistance to individuals recovering from hardship and trauma. Together with Robert Craig Films and the No Address Project, we help raise awareness and funds for homelessness prevention through the power of media and storytelling. And by working with the National Coalition for the Homeless, we support holistic services in housing, healthcare, and employment for those experiencing homelessness.
Join us in our mission to brighten lives and build brighter futures for communities around the world. Together, with your support and the strength of our partners, we can make a tangible difference and shine a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.

Our Team
“Our outlook on helping vulnerable populations is different because we do not just talk about it, but have gone through the trials you may be facing. Poverty has no friends and we want to help prevent others from having to go through the same struggles we had to go through during that time.”
