Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds made the first donation to kick off the return of the #LightTheWorld giving machines.
The giving machine gives you a chance to buy a variety of basic necessities for charities with a swipe of your credit or debit card.
In Las Vegas, nonprofits like Communities in Schools of Nevada, Eye Care 4 Kids, Three square, and others.

Joyce Haldeman, organizer of the giving machines said, “We’re so excited about having the giving machine back open again. It’s such a great opportunity for families or people to come down together as groups of friends.”
In 2019, the machines raised more than $800,000 in Las Vegas.
“It’s not just about helping children see the board, it’s helping them see their future. We really want to support these children to be successful in life and clear vision is one of those ways,” Stephanie Kirby, Eye Care 4 Kids said.
The machine will remain in Downtown Summerlin from Nov. 3 to Jan. 3 of 2022.
