The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Giving Machines arrived at Hemming Village Monday morning.

The machines will be there from now through Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.

“Bring your friends and family or just come by yourself and donate to a variety of local or international charities,” stated Eric Andreason who oversee the “Just Serve” organization in the Upper Valley. “One hundred percent of the donations go directly to the charitable cause.”

The machines were moved up from Pocatello where nearly $200,000 in donations was provided. The money will be used to purchase everything from goats to one year’s worth of tuition at a school.

“Come help Light the World this holiday season!” Andreason said.
