We’re excited to be part of the Light the World Giving Machines! These special vending machines let you “buy” items that help local nonprofits. For example, with just $7, you can provide a hygiene kit for an unsheltered person.
It’s a fun and meaningful experience for the whole family. All proceeds donated go directly to TCAA programs.
The Light the World Giving Machines started in 2017 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The idea is to give people a fun way to donate to charity during the holiday season. The first machines were placed in Salt Lake City, Utah, and offered different items to help others, like meals for the hungry, medical supplies, and animals in need.
Instead of offering snacks like regular vending machines, the Light the World Giving Machines let people "buy" gifts for others. These donations go to help local charities and global relief efforts.
The project became very popular, and more locations were added in other states like Arizona and New York. It has also expanded to other countries.
