More than 100 Light the World Giving Machines locations announced for 2024
Light the World Giving Machines will be in 106 cities in 13 countries on five continents — including the first in Africa and Asia.
The customized red vending machines allow people to choose something to give to someone else in need — in their own neighborhood or around the world — through local and international nonprofit organizations. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covers all operating costs.
In 2023, $10.4 million was donated through Giving Machines in 61 locations across seven countries. Since the initiative launched in 2017, more than 2 million people have visited Giving Machines and more than $32 million has been donated.
Participating nonprofit organizations received 100% of the contributions, helping millions of people in need worldwide.
The 2024 locations were announced by the Church on Wednesday, Nov. 13. (This article will be updated soon with more information and photos from the news conference and announcement event.)
