Light the World Giving Machines Launch in Utah

Light the World Giving Machines have returned to Utah for the 2022 Christmas season. Festivities were held at University Place in Orem, Utah — one of 28 locations around the world — on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, to unveil the bright red vending machines.

“The holiday is a perfect time for us to recognize the true gift of Jesus Christ to the world and our lives and the gifts that we're giving in commemoration of His birth,” said Elder Evan A. Schmutz, a General Authority Seventy and member of the Utah Area Presidency, who shared a Christmas message at the Orem event.

The unique machines, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, give the public a fun and memorable opportunity to donate and serve local and international charities during the holidays.
