Youth Sports Alliance invited to participate in the Light the World Giving Machine
- Open 24/7, Nov 21 - Dec 31
- 100% goes directly to YSA
Vending-style kiosks let residents and visitors give meals, winter coats, healthcare, ski lessons and more to neighbors in need. 100 percent of every donation goes to five local nonprofits and two international charities. Donations can only be made in person at the Giving Machine located at 1500 Snow Creek Drive, Park City.
The Giving Machine looks like a vending machine, but nothing comes out. Instead of buying something for themselves, people choose a gift for someone else. A $7 donation buys hand warmers for 5 ski sessions. A $20 donation provides warm mittens, $50 gift buys a helmet for a young skier, and $100 provides a scholarship for a student to learn to ski or snowboard.
The Giving Machine is part of the annual Light the World initiative, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church covers all operational expenses, enabling participating nonprofit organizations to receive one hundred percent of every donation.
