This year, the Light the World Giving Machines will be in 106 cities in 13 countries—including the first in Africa and Asia.

Giving Machines are a unique and memorable way to give goods and services directly to someone in need this Christmas season.

More than 500 local and international nonprofit organizations will participate in this year’s Giving Machine initiative. This year’s global charities are The Academy for Creating Enterprise, American Red Cross, Care, Catholic Relief Services, Church World Service, Days for Girls International, iDE Global, Lifting Hands International, MAP International, Mentors International, Right to Play, Save the Children, UNICEF, Water Aid, and World Food Program.

Millions of items have been donated through Giving Machines since 2017, valued at more than $32 million. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covers all program operational expenses. This ensures that 100% of every donation is used to provide those in need with the item a generous donor has purchased for them. Among the items available are food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education, job and career training, and livestock.
