Light the World Giving Machine
Daily | December 18 – January 4 | 6am – 11pm
Scissortail Park – Northeast Corner
The Giving Machines are a fun and easy way to give to those less fortunate this holiday season. There will be three machines set up at the NE corner of Scissortail Park near the Taking Flight: Light as a Feather statue. The machines will open from December 18 through January 4 during Scissortail Park hours, daily 6am – 11pm. There will be volunteers present during busier hours along with sporadic entertainment throughout each day. This is the first year the machines will appear in OKC, but organizers hope to establish it as a holiday tradition for the city.
The customized vending machines will allow the public to donate necessary products and services to those in need worldwide. Giving Machine items include food, clean water, medical care, clothing, education support, hygiene kits, and even livestock, such as chickens, goats, pigs, and beehives.
One hundred percent of every donation is given to the participating nonprofit organizations to purchase and deliver the donated item.
Since 2017, the Light the World Giving Machines have raised more than US$33 million for local and global charities. This year’s charity participants in OKC include the following:
- ReMerge
- Pivot
- Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma
- NewView
- Infant Crisis Services
- Church World Services
- WaterAid
