Giving Machine Fundraiser

During the Christmas season, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites people everywhere to light the world by lifting and serving others in small and simple ways.

One unique, fun, and memorable aspect of the Light the World initiative is the popular Giving Machines. These customized vending machines allow the public to donate necessary products and services to those in need worldwide. Giving Machine items often include food, clean water, medical care, clothing, education support, hygiene kits, and even livestock, such as chickens, goats, pigs, and beehives.

St. Louis receives the Giving Machines from December 11th, 2025, through January 1st, 2026. The machines are a perfect way to love, share, and invite others to Christ this Christmas. One hundred percent of every donation is given to the participating nonprofit organizations to purchase and deliver the donated item. This happens because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covers all Giving Machine operating costs.
