Light the World Giving Machines are a convenient and fun way to help those in need this Christmas season. Instead of traditional vending machines that sell candy and soda, Giving Machines allow people to purchase an item for someone else--across town or around the world. After the payment process is completed, a card representing the item drops into an enclosed display bin. 100% of your donations are given to the charity of your choosing. This year's featured charities include FeedNC, Latin American Coalition, The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte, CARE and Medicine For All People (MAP) International.
