The Light the World Giving Machine at the Spokane Valley Mall wrapped up its 2025 season after raising over $225,000 for local and global charities—all in just 21 days!

With 2,282 transactions, 7,820 items donated, and 54 community members completing the 777 Challenge, this season was a powerful reminder of what generosity can do. Funds will support five local nonprofits serving families, kids, food security, and basic needs across the Inland Northwest, plus two global charities providing humanitarian aid and clean water worldwide.

“While we are grateful for the generosity reflected in the total funds raised, the real story of the Giving Machine is not the dollar amount—it’s the impact and the experience. Individuals and families had genuine fun giving together. Children chose items, parents talked with their kids about helping others, and people left smiling, knowing exactly how their gift would bless someone’s life. The Giving Machine turns generosity into joy and reminds us that even small acts of giving can have a lasting impact.” -Elder Hal C. Hunsaker, Area Seventy, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
