For the first time ever in the Tampa Bay Area, the Light the World Giving Machine is coming to the outdoor Clearwater Mall (at the Crumbl Cookies storefront)! This unique, family-friendly giving experience offers visitors a simple and meaningful way to help someone in need this Christmas season.
Instead of purchasing snacks, guests “buy” items that go directly to 5 local charities and 2 global charities, with options starting at just $5.
100% of every donation goes directly to the charities.
Join us for free daily activities and themed community events for all ages.
