Spokanes Holiday Giving Machine Raises $228K for Local Nonprofits

The inaugural Holiday Giving Machine event in Spokane has successfully raised nearly $228,000 for seven local nonprofits. This unique vending machine-style donation system allowed individuals to contribute directly to their chosen causes. Second Harvest received the largest share, totaling $44,205, while CARE, which supports refugees, came in second. This initiative is part of a broader movement, with machines now present in 125 US cities and 21 countries. Nonprofit leaders highlight the significance of these funds, filling a gap as traditional grants dwindle and fostering stronger donor relationships. The future of the machines return for the 2026 holiday season is still under consideration.
