Served in Cebu mission back in late 90s, this makes so much sense! The Filipinos are such wonderful and amazing people! I love to see a giving machine in Cebu and so many of these absolutely amazing people using it to spread the light and love of the gospel in this holiday season! This has to be one of my most favorite videos from the Church Newsroom ever! Malipayong pasko to my Filipino friends!
The LDS Church's giving machines have had a profound impact by offering a hands-on approach to charitable giving. These machines, set up during the holiday season, allow people to select and donate specific items like food and clothing to various local and global charities. This tangible and immediate assistance fosters a sense of connection and empathy, promoting a culture of service within the community. Additionally, the visibility of the giving machines raises awareness about ongoing needs and encourages individuals to contribute to positive change.
