The Church’s 2021 Light the World campaign just launched this morning. This year, 10 US cities will host the Church’s beloved red Light the World Giving Machines, including Las Vegas, Nashville, Honolulu, Orem, Salt Lake City, Oakland, Gilbert, Kansas City, Denver, and New York City.

But for those of us who won't be in one of those locations this holiday season, the Church has also provided a list of the Giving Machines’ charity partners and links where you can donate to them online

You can donate to the five international charities linked to each of the Light the World Giving Machines below:

Additionally, each Giving Machine also has local charity partners with donation opportunities that will help local community members and projects. You can learn more about the international and local charity partners here.

The Giving Machines webpage also encourages members to visit JustServe.org to find non-monetary opportunities to serve in your local community.
