About: | The Giving Machines are part of the #LightTheWorld campaign led by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which asks people to take the 25 days leading up to Christmas and turn it into a season of service, lifting and helping others in small and simple ways. The Church will cover all administrative costs for the Giving Machines to ensure 100% of donations go directly to charity.
Last year, just one Giving Machine in Salt Lake City resulted in more than $550,000 raised for charity ? here's a video showing that campaign in action.
