The Light the World Giving Machine is coming to Regency Square in Brandon (in the courtyard near AMC The Regency 20) from November 16 – December 7, 2026, open daily from 10 AM – 9 PM! This unique vending machine, offers visitors a simple and meaningful way to help someone in need this holiday season.
Instead of purchasing snacks from a traditional vending machine, guests can donate meaningful gifts such as meals for children, school supplies, diapers and wipes, and groceries. You can even donate four chickens or a beehive to help families around the world! Donations support 4 local charities (kidsPACK, Joshua House, Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services and Coptic Orthodox Charities) and 2 global charities (UNICEF and Church World Service), with 100% of every donation going directly to participating charities.
Enjoy FREE daily family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and themed community events for all ages! Bring a friend, make a memory, and experience the joy of giving together.
Stay connected! Follow Giving Machine Florida on Instagram and Facebook for event updates, special announcements, and inspiring stories of giving throughout the season!
