ABOUT US

Our Mission

Ray of Light is dedicated to providing essential support to families and individuals who fall through the cracks of institutional help. Ray of Light also provides support for women and their children seeking refuge from domestic violence. Our mission is to ensure that people in need have enough food, clothing, and basic necessities to live with dignity.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a community where every person, regardless of their background, has access to the support they need to thrive. We aim to bring light and hope to those in the darkest times. 

Founder's Message

Ray of Light was established in memory of Raymond Chesler, a kind and compassionate man who believed in helping others. Founded by Madeleine Judith Schwarcz, the initiative has been supporting families and individuals in need for over 17 years. Madeleine has dedicated her life to volunteering and helping those less fortunate. Inspired by her late husband’s legacy of kindness and generosity, she created Ray of Light to ensure that no one is left behind. Through this initiative, Madeleine and her team of dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to provide essential support to the most vulnerable members of our community.
