Light the World Giving Machine:
Make a Local Impact This Christmas Season
Visit the Light the World Giving Machines, coming to The Grove Plaza, November 20- December 1st

The Light the World Giving Machine is a unique, charitable vending machine initiative that allows people to purchase donations for those in need. Instead of buying a snack or beverage, users can select items like meals, winter clothes, medical supplies, or livestock, which are then donated to local and global charities. Through partnerships with a variety of nonprofit organizations, the Giving Machines provide a simple and impactful way for individuals to give directly to specific causes during the holiday season. 100% of each donation goes directly to the chosen charity, making it an easy and meaningful way to make a difference.

This year's charities include:

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF ADA COUNTY & CANYON COUNTY
Boys and Girls Clubs are a safe, affordable place for youth to learn and grow.
They offer after-school and summer programs focused on academic success,
character development, and healthy lifestyles.

CAMP RAINBOW GOLD
Camp Rainbow Gold provides emotionally and physically empowering experiences
for Idaho kids with cancer and their families. The organization offers various
camps and programs at no cost to help families feel stronger and more hopeful.

CATCH is a rapid rehousing program to help families and individuals prevent and
end homelessness. They offer support to help the unhoused move into and stay
in stable housing to ensure everyone has a safe place to live.

FACES OF HOPE offers a safe place for victims of abuse and sexual assault to
receive critical safety, legal, and emotional support. The organization's goal is to
empower victims and help them find a path to safety and recovery.

FOSTER + HEART supports Treasure Valley children in foster care by providing 24/7
staffed, nurturing homes focused on keeping siblings together. Community events
strengthen foster families, and The Essentials Project provides crucial items.
Your contribution helps these organizations continue their vital work in providing shelter, health care, youth services, and support for those in need.

HOPE HOUSE is a shelter and supportive housing program for teens and young
adults, ages 12-24, experiencing homelessness in the Treasure Valley. The goal is
to help provide a safe place and services for youth to transition to independence.

The IDAHO DIAPER BANK distributes essential baby diapers and wipes through their
partner network, ensuring babies remain clean, dry, and happy, while improving
the health and well-being of families across Idaho.

Two Global Charities:

*Lifting Hands International
*American red Cross

Let’s come together as a community to make Christmas more meaningful by Lighting The World—one person at a time.
