Imagine swiping your credit card at a vending machine—but instead of buying a candy bar for yourself, you’re buying a beehive for a family in a developing country. Or a pair of socks. Or prenatal care. Or meals for local seniors in need.
That’s the Giving Machine. 100% of your donation goes to the charity of your choice.
