As GivingTuesday approaches, we're learning of creative new ways to support our local and global neighbors. A Utah-based initiative has created what are called 'Giving Machines,” a take on the well-known vending machine with a twist. Instead of getting a snack or a drink, you pay to donate resources to those in need around the world. The customer can choose anything from a single goat, two chickens, basketballs, blankets, or even life-saving vaccines. What a creative and inspiring way to get in the spirit of giving this holiday season! To learn more about these Giving Machines, and to find one in a city near you, read more at Good News Network.
