Light the World ‘Giving Machines’ Returning to Australia and New Zealand 

Each year, the Christmas season brings opportunities to give to others and serve those in need in our communities. 

Light the World “Giving Machines” are a unique way to serve others during the Christmas season. Each machine, much like a vending machine, displays donation cards of essential items or services which can be purchased to enable local charities to lift lives.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints collaborates with local charities to allow for individuals to directly donate needed items. Some of the needs can include medical care, hygiene packs, school supplies, food and more. One hundred percent of the donations that individuals make go towards the cause. 

This year, there will be new Giving Machine locations throughout New Zealand and Australia.
