The Gila Valley Giving Machines are back! ❤️

As Brother Brad Wilcox shares in today’s video, now is the time to prepare our hearts to Light the World.

This Christmas season, one of the most meaningful ways to serve is by visiting the Gila Valley Giving Machines, where 100% of your donation goes directly to the cause you choose.

📅 Mark your calendars:

🎉 Launch Event: Thursday, December 17
❤️ Giving Machines available through: Saturday, January 2

Every gift tells a story.
Every donation changes a life.
Every act of kindness helps Light the World—one by one, together.

We can’t wait to share inspiring stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and opportunities to make a difference all season long.

Be a Light. Give. Love. Bless. ✨

🎄✨ Light the World is Coming back to the Gila Valley! ✨🎄

This Christmas season, let’s come together to make a real difference—one gift, one family, one act of kindness at a time.

❤️ The Gila Valley Giving Machine is returning!

📅 Giving Machine Dates:
December 16, 2026 – January 2, 2027

🎉 Launch Celebration:

📍 Safford City Hall Lawn

This year, every donation made through the Giving Machine will directly bless one of these incredible local nonprofits:

❤️ Gila Valley Samaritan Home

❤️ Graham County Substance Abuse Coalition

One of the beautiful things about the Giving Machine is that 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity you choose. Every purchase becomes an opportunity to brighten someone’s Christmas and strengthen our own community.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, you can help Light the World by serving others this Christmas season.

Mark your calendars, invite your family and friends, and join us as we celebrate the joy of giving.

What an incredible season of giving ❤️

Because of the Light the World Giving Machines here in the Gila Valley, nearly $64,000 was donated to three amazing local nonprofits—changing lives right here at home.

✨ Our Neighbor’s Farm & Pantry – helping provide fresh food, milk, eggs, and hygiene kits for families and kids in need
✨ St. Vincent de Paul – assisting with rent, utilities, gas, clothing, and essential household items
✨ SEACUS – delivering meals and care for seniors, including hundreds of weeks of meals and vital support services

In total, over $139,000 was donated during the three weeks the machines were in front of Safford City Hall—impacting an estimated 9,000 people in our community.

This is what happens when people come together to serve like the Savior.

And the best part?

We get to do it again.
The Giving Machines are coming back in 2026 🙌

So proud of this community. So grateful to be a part of it.

It’s not too late…
but real talk—it will be soon ⏳

The Giving Machines are here until January 1, and if you haven’t made it down yet, this is your sign. Grab your family. Bring the kids. Come be part of something genuinely special.

They say you won’t receive anything back—you just give.
And somehow… that’s the plot twist.
You leave feeling lighter. Happier. Full in a way Target receipts could never.

There’s something wild about watching generosity flip the script and realizing you might be the one changed most.

Don’t miss this moment.
Don’t say “we should’ve gone.”
Go. Give. Feel it.

Trust me—your heart will thank you.

Awesome story from A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that came out to our hot chocolate stand! Thank you for giving us a huge opportunity to teach our kids to think of others’ needs. ♥️ We went to the Giving Machine with our kids (and an extra niece and nephew) tonight. Because of our awesome community of friends and family, we were able to raise enough money to purchase the following things (which the kids chose):

1 piglet (to help a family develop financial stability with a pig to raise and sell)
1 Drivers License Fee
2 Breakfast Essentials
Senior Care (1 hour of housekeeping or personal care)
1 Night of Safety (a night of rest and shelter for a homeless or transient neighbor)
1 Week of Food
1 Book for a child in foster care
Shoes & Socks for a student in need
2 Crisis Support (one day of food and toiletries for a woman fleeing a violent situation)
2 Meals for Seniors
Clothing for 1 Foster Child

This Christmas,
give more than gifts,
give hope wrapped in kindness,
and love that lifts.

No ribbons, no bows,
just hearts made whole,
a simple act
that blesses a soul.

The Giving Machine is here—
waiting on you,
through January 1,
there’s still good to do.

Come tap, come give,
come feel what’s right.
Sometimes the best gifts
don’t fit under the tree…
they change a life. ❤️
