  • We are excited to let you know that, for the first time here in Dallas-Fort Worth, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Giving Machines will make their appearance during Christmas 2023!  Giving Machines are part of the Church’s Light the World campaign every Christmas and are a fun way to share the joy of the birth of the Savior with your family and friends.  In addition, the Giving Machines will bring light and help to thousands of our brothers and sisters right here in DFW.
    • Please watch and share this brief video, produced by our DFW Metro Communication Council, to find out where the Giving Machines will be located, what local charities are involved, and how you can participate.  The Giving Machines provide a natural way to invite friends to join us in spreading the light and love of the Savior during this Christmas season. A visit to the Giving Machines could provide a meaningful holiday activity for youth classes and quorums, YSA groups, Relief Societies, and elders quorums.
    • Inquiries for events or other participation with the Giving Machines should be directed to Tom Palfreyman, DFW Giving Machine Coordinator, at trpgivingmachines@gmail.com
