Light the World Giving Machines Return to Washington Communities This Holiday Season

The Light the World Giving Machines are back, offering a simple and meaningful way for Washington residents to support local and global charities during the holiday season. Sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, these unique vending machines allow donors to purchase essential items and services that directly benefit nonprofit organizations, with 100% of every donation going to participating charities.

This year, Giving Machines will be available at three locations across Western Washington:

Each grand opening celebration will feature community leaders, nonprofit partners, and special guests. The Seattle event will include Amazon representatives and VIP guests, while the Puyallup opening will welcome the Mayor of Puyallup and other civic leaders. The Tulalip celebration will feature local tribal leadership, the Mayor of Marysville, and additional community guests.

Through the Giving Machines, donors can support a variety of local and international causes with just a few taps. Donation options include meals for families in need, educational resources, housing assistance, medical support, and even livestock such as chickens and goats that help families build sustainable futures.

Benefiting organizations include:

  • Family Promise
  • Orion, A Step Ahead
  • UNICEF
  • CARE
  • Thurston County Food Bank
  • El Centro
  • LINC Northwest
  • Vine Maple Place
  • Taking the Next Step
  • Seattle Angels
  • First Step
  • Family Support Center

Since every contribution goes directly to participating nonprofits, donors can see the immediate impact of their generosity in local communities and around the world. The Giving Machines serve as a powerful reminder of the holiday spirit, making it easy for individuals and families to turn compassion into action.
