About Giving Machines

#LightTheWorld Giving Machines are special red vending machines put up during the Christmas season where donors can purchase goods for those in need around the world, such as clothing for children or livestock such as a goat for a family.


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsors the operating costs of the Giving Machines, so 100% of donations go to local or worldwide charities to provide for the less fortunate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Insert a credit or debit card and select one or more items from the vending machine. A Styrofoam card with a photo of the item you have purchased will drop to the bottom of the machine, signifying the purchase you have made.

The Giving Machines accept all major U.S. credit cards and debit cards – just like a regular vending machine. However, it does not accept cash.

At a Light the World Giving Machine, all of your donation – 100% – reaches the people served. Overhead costs for the machines, credit card fees, and the administrative fees for the designated charity are covered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You and your family and friends get to actually see and choose what to give. Take a selfie while you’re there and share it with your friends and family as you help #LightTheWorld!
