During the 2023 Christmas season, a record number of Giving Machines were available to the public as part of the Light the World initiative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Red vending machines were set up in 61 locations around the world, allowing more people to donate important items and aid.

From November through December, approximately 600,000 people visited Giving Machines in Australia, Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the United States, contributing US$10.4 million in donations.
