"Giving machines" return to Fashion District Philadelphia for 2nd straight holiday season
It's the season of giving, and a "giving machine" is back in Philadelphia for the second straight year.
The Light the World Giving Machines are back for a second year inside the Fashion District Philadelphia.
The "giving machines" are popular vending machines that work in reverse, giving you the chance to donate a variety of much-needed items to local and global charities. Donation items range in price from $5 to $500.
This year, the donations go to six charities, including Philabundance, Interfaith Philabundance/Zones of Peace, Mount Airy Church of God in Christ, Ministry of Caring, Days for Girls and Mentors International.
On Friday, Nov. 22, at 6 p.m., the Light the World Giving Machines will host Eagles Night with Philadelphia Eagles players Britain Covey, Tanner McKee, Laekin Vakalahi and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
The Giving Machines will remain in the Fashion District through Dec. 4 during regular mall hours, which run Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, from noon to 6 p.m.
