Want to help your family light the world this holiday season? Check out these free Giving Machine printables from MeckMom. Available in two sizes, they are a fun way to focus on service. They are designed after the beloved Giving Machines from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which act as a vending machines for charitable items. In 2021, the machines brought in nearly $4 million for charity worldwide. In 2022, machines are located at 28 locations. If you don’t have easy access to a Giving Machine or just want to make your Christmas service more personal, these printables will do the trick.
They are available in two sizes and can be hung on your tree. Or, place it on a counter, table, or another place your family will see it. Here’s how it works:
Set a service goal as a family or youth group. Create your giving machine following the instructions on the printable. Print out a stack of #LightTheWorld cards. As your group performs small acts of service, encourage them to write those acts on the cards and add them to your giving machine. After the holidays, open the box and review the cards together.
