Light the World Giving Machines - DFW

Nov 22, 6:00 AM – Jan 2, 2025, 5:45 AM (UTC)

U.S. - Dallas

Light The World Giving Machines are big red vending machines where you can donate special items to those in need through select local and international charities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsors the machines and covers the costs so that 100% of your donation goes to the charity you choose. This year, there will be Machines in Grapevine, Frisco, and McKinney.

About this event

Members of the Management Society –

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season? The Giving Machines are returning to DFW, and you and your business could be part of this incredible opportunity to make a difference in our community! This year, three locations will rotate hosting the Giving Machines in DFW from Nov. 22 to Jan. 1. Five local and two global charities will receive 100% of donations because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covers the operating costs in the background.

Why Contribute?

The Giving Machines offer a unique, interactive way to donate—think of it as a vending machine with a heart. Each “purchase” fills a specific need, from meals to medical supplies, through designated charities. Plus, all donations are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive a receipt on the spot.

Here’s how your business could get involved:

Plan a Team Outing: Organize a company lunch or visit near one of the Giving Machine locations toward the end of the workday to make a donation together as a team.

Match Donations: Consider matching employee contributions to maximize your company’s impact.

Promote on Your Biz Social Media: Share this opportunity by tagging @TexasGivingMachine or resharing their posts to your audience. Or share how your business supported these charities. Facebook.com/TexasGivingMachine Instagram.com/texasgivingmachine/

The Giving Machines are always open while at their locations. Volunteers are usually available to help visitors. You may show up any time.
