Light the World Giving Machine returns to Hughes Landing in The Woodlands
The Light the World Giving Machines are coming to Hughes Landing in The Woodlands, from December 22, 2026 to January 2, 2027. A launch event on December 22 at 4 p.m. will kick off this special holiday experience at 1950 Hughes Landing Blvd, The Woodlands, TX 77381. These vending machines allow visitors to donate items like food, clothing, medical care, and even livestock to help people in need in Houston and around the world.
The Giving Machine offers a fun and unique way to give back during the holidays, allowing donors to make an impact both locally and globally with a simple purchase. All events are free and family-friendly.
Since the Light the World Giving Machine initiative began in 2017, $70 million worth of goods have been donated to individuals in need. Thanks to the sponsorship of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the program covers all operational, technology, and delivery costs so that 100% of every donation goes directly to participating local and global charities.
Charities supported include Montgomery County Food Bank, Interfaith of The Woodlands, Tomagwa HealthCare Ministries, BEAR, Target Hunger, Lifting Hands International, East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry, Inc, and African Girls Hope Foundation.
To get involved, visit the Giving Machine at Hughes Landing to make a donation directly, or contribute online at www.givingmachineshouston.org.
