In 2023, the Giving Machines will be in 43 cities in the United States and 18 additional cities internationally.

During the upcoming 2023 holiday season, you can actively share the love of Jesus Christ through the Light the World Giving Machines. These charitable vending machines are being sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 61 locations across the globe.

The central theme for this year’s Light the World Christmas campaign is “Let Your Light Shine,” a phrase spoken by the Savior to His disciples.

These Giving Machines offer a unique avenue to spread His message of love and compassion, whether in your own community or in distant lands. When you make a purchase from these machines, you aren’t buying something for yourself; rather, your contribution becomes a heartfelt donation to someone in need.

These Giving Machines offer a wide array of 1,200 distinct items at each location. These items have been carefully selected based on requests from reputable local and international nonprofit organizations. They encompass essential necessities such as meals, groceries, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education, bedding, hygiene kits, job training, and even resources like crops and livestock (including chickens, goats, pigs, ducks, sheep, and beehives).

For those who wish to make a comprehensive contribution, they can enter the code “777” to purchase one of each available item from the machine.

In 2022, the donations made through Giving Machines resulted in remarkable impacts, including 2.2 million meals distributed, 31 million water purification tablets (capable of purifying 3.9 million gallons of water), vaccinations provided for 517,000 children, 41,000 chickens donated, school supplies for 28,000 children, 25,000 ducks distributed, safe shelter provided for 3,400 individuals, scholarships granted to 3,000 children and teenagers, shoes, socks, and warm winter clothing for 35,000 children and adults, 3,800 beehives for beekeeping, and the protection of 459 women and children from further domestic violence or child abuse.

These incredible outcomes showcase the profound impact that simple acts of kindness and generosity can have on individuals and communities in need.

What are the Giving Machines?

Since the launch of the very first Giving Machine in 2017, generous people from all over the world have contributed more than $9.1 million to local and global causes. Every penny raised goes directly to serving those in need.

 

What is #LightTheWorld?

Since 2016, #LightTheWorld has grown into a global initiative with millions of participants each Christmas. Throughout the holiday season, individuals perform acts of service to show love like Jesus did—with love. Want to join in? Go to http://www.LightTheWorld.org to find ways to give, resources, and more.

 

How can I help #LightTheWorld this year?

    1. Find a Giving Machine near you, or visit http://www.LightTheWorld.org to learn how to give in other ways.
    2. Watch “The Christ Child,” a beautiful short film based on the Nativity story: http://www.TheChristChild.org.
    3. Meet with missionaries digitally or in person to hear a special Christmas message. Learn more: http://www.ComeUntoChrist.org.

 


For the past three years, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints celebrates the life of Jesus Christ through the #LightTheWorld initiative.

Last year, we wrote about some of the awesome #LightTheWorld happenings HERE.

This year, the theme for #LightTheWorld is GIVE AS HE GAVE.

Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, spent much of His ministry caring for individuals one-by-one. With a renewed emphasis that President Nelson has put on serving the one, #LightTheWorld is focusing more on WHO we serve as opposed to just HOW we serve.

GIVING MACHINES ARE BACK WITH MORE LOCATIONS!
