“???? ???????? ?? ???????????? ???? ???????? ???? ??????, ?????? ???? ???????? ?? ???????? ???? ???????? ???? ????????.” — Winston Churchill

This holiday season, Texas is shining a new kind of light: one of generosity, community, and hope. The ?????????? ???????????? ???????????????? are bringing people together to give in a way that’s tangible, immediate, and deeply meaningful. These striking red vending machines allow anyone—Texans and visitors alike—to purchase essentials or even life-changing gifts for people in need. From groceries and blankets to medical care and livestock, each item purchased through these ?????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????? ???????????????? goes straight to a person or family in need.

This year, you can find these Giving Machines in ???????????? ???????? ??????????, ????????????, ?????? ??????????????, ?????? ??????????????, making it easier than ever to get involved. And with 100% of each donation going directly to carefully selected local and international charities, every gift given through a machine becomes a powerful gesture of kindness. ???????????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????????????? ?????? ???? ?????????????????? ?????? ????-?????? ??, ???????????? ????????-????, ???????????????? ?????? ????-?????? ??. ?????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????????? ???? ????????????????????????????????????.??????.

So, what can you give? With options ranging from just $5 to $150, and items ranging from new shoes, safe shelter, a fresh food basket, polio vaccines and even a goat, there’s something for everyone to give, no matter your budget. You get to decide which item and charity you wish to buy. Some of the local charities in the DFW area this year are Lovepacs, Salvation Army of North Texas, Catholic Charities. There are also two international charities one can choose from: Unicef and Lifting Hands International.

The Giving Machines are part of Light the World, an initiative by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s about making a difference on a global scale, as this year, machines are also set up in 32 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and locations across Africa and Asia. Every item represents a real need, a real impact, and a real chance to give a little bit of ourselves to lift others up. Last year $???? ?????????????? ?????????????? were donated through the Giving Machines globally.
