SALT LAKE CITY – Donating to those in need is now as easy as stopping at a vending machine. Thanks to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints efforts, it’s easy to find a Giving Machine near you.
The Church has set up Giving Machines throughout the state, making it possible for all Utahns to give back to their community.
Local and international nonprofit organizations use funds donated at Light the World Giving Machines to help those in need. The Church states that Utah organizations that receive the funds include those fighting against domestic violence, helping at-risk and foster children, food pantries, and those who work towards supporting veterans.
“The Giving Machine is impactful in so many ways,” Curtis Blair, a representative for the non-profit Meals on Wheels, said. “It enables more routes. It enables us to cover more territory. We’re able to expand our reach.”
