Giving Machine program to support those in need

Christmas is fast approaching. It is always a special time to give and to receive. In the same spirit of good deeds, many Canadians like to give to those most in need. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Lethbridge is launching the Light the World Giving Machine initiative. Macaul Johnson, committee member of the group, says the program has been carried out since 2017 and its contributions have totaled more than 32 million dollars. Johnson explains how this charity program works. Johnson says there will be three vending machines set up at Park Place Mall in Lethbridge from November 15th to December 4th of this year.
