The Giving Machine
November 13 – December 5
The Giving Machine is back for the 2026 holidays!
Imagine using a vending machine, but instead of purchasing a snack for yourself, you’re providing essential items like chickens for families in developing countries, or shoes for local family in crisis. That’s the Giving Machine Initiative.
