Experience the joy of giving this holiday season with the Light the World initiatives Giving Machines. These red vending machines, appearing in Montreal shopping areas, allow you to donate essential items like meals, clean water, and hygiene kits with a simple card swipe. The initiative, launched last year with great success, now expands to three locations, highlighting both local and international charities. Last year, over two thousand donations were collected, with one hundred percent of proceeds going directly to the organizations. This year, international groups like CARE and UNICEF join the cause, offering options to donate items like baby chicks or vaccinations. The final launch event will take place on December thirteenth at Carrefour Angrignon, where two more Giving Machines will be unveiled.
