What Is A Giving Machine?

A giving machine is a vending machine that allows people to donate to charities by purchasing items for those in need. The machines are part of the Light the World Campaign by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and placed in public spaces around the world. 

Let your light shine this Christmas season as you love the people around you, share joy, and follow the example of Jesus Christ.
