- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-sponsored Giving Machines returned to Las Vegas this past 2023 holiday season with a new and exciting second location added at The District at Green Valley Ranch as well as the Downtown Summerlin location from years past. The donation “vending machines” ran from November 15th to January 1, 2023, as part of the “Light the World” campaign.
Spread the Word Nevada was honored and thrilled to be included in The District at Green Valley Ranch's machines. Enjoy this highlights reel and report on how we did!
As in years past, the Giving Machines offered individuals a way to help serve members of our own community with local charity partners as well as global charities.
Giving Machines are big red vending machines placed in local malls and plazas that contain cards listing items needed by local and international charities. Instead of buying something for yourself, you purchase something for someone in need. The items available for purchase include warm clothing, meals, sports equipment, hygiene items, school kits and more3. 100% of the funds donated go directly to the charity of your choice.
Spread the Word Nevada is a children’s literacy nonprofit, 501 (C)(3) corporation, dedicated to advancing early childhood literacy by placing books into the hands and homes of children within Nevada’s at-risk, low income communities. While developing a love of reading, these libraries promote future academic achievement and self-confidence, which impacts lifelong success.
Since 2001, Spread the Word Nevada has distributed more than 7 million gently used and new books to more than 830,000 low-income youth in Nevada.
