Giving Machines are customized red vending machines with a twist. Instead of dispensing a product to consume, they allow people to donate tangible items to help people in need.
The local charities participating in this year’s campaign are Soap for Hope Canada, the Shelbourne Community Kitchen, James Bay New Horizons, the Victoria Cool Aid Society and Saanich Neighborhood Place.
Global charities are CARE Canada and UNICEF Canada.
