A Giving Machine is a vending machine that allows you to donate to those in need across St Louis and the World. You may select the item(s) you wish to donate, insert payment and the gift is on its way for distribution to the specified charitable organization.
The vending machine with a heart---the Light the World Giving Machine is a fun, push-button way to donate to local and global charities. With the swipe of a credit card, you can give hot meals, warm clothing, fresh water, polio vaccines, livestock and more!
The machines will arrive in the St. Louis area on December 11, 2025, at West County Center on Level 2 near the Food Court, where they will remain through January 1, 2026. Click here for more details.
The five local non-profit beneficiaries include:
• Assistance League of St. Louia
• Nurses for Newborns
• Operation Food Search
• Kathy J. Weinman Center
• Catholic Charities - St. Louis
