We recently held our check presentation for the charities supported by the 2025 Giving Machine Austin—and we’re incredibly grateful for the impact made.
A sincere thank you to the more than 5,500 visitors who stopped by the Giving Machine at The Crossover in Cedar Park. Your generosity made this possible.
We also appreciate The Crossover and Adam Powell, General Manager, along with his team, for welcoming the Giving Machine. We’re looking forward to returning in 2026.
Most importantly, thank you to the participating charities who make this effort meaningful: BiG (Brookwood in Georgetown), Brighter Days, Foster Village, Heart Gift, Hope Alliance, Special Olympics, and CARE International.
This marked the second year The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hosted a Giving Machine in the Austin area. Across the 2025 holiday season, the Light the World Giving Machines reached nearly 1 million visitors in 126 cities worldwide—resulting in millions of donated items to support meals, vaccinations, and essential care.
Thank you for being part of something that truly makes a difference.
