Thanks to a giving Tri-Cities community

The debut of the Light the World Giving Machine in the Tri-Cities was an incredible success, and it’s all thanks to YOU — our generous community members who gave of your time, talents, and treasure to make this opportunity possible. Your kindness and compassion have made a lasting impact on local families and individuals in need.

Through your support, this year’s Giving Machine benefited LCSNW, along with these other local nonprofits:

Together, we showed what happens when a community comes together to give hope and help. In just 19 days, the Tri-Cities Giving Machine saw a total:

  • 523 volunteers
  • Over 2,800 transactions
  • 13,000 items donated
  • More than $300,000 in donations

We are so grateful to be part of this inspiring initiative and to witness the generosity of our neighbors. Thank you for GIVING so much to our community!
