Oklahoma's First Giving Machine Now At The Gathering Place

Oklahoma's first-ever Giving Machine is now available at the Gathering Place in Tulsa, offering a unique way to donate to local and global charities.

The vending machine works in reverse, allowing users to purchase items such as clothing, hygiene products, meals, school supplies, and even livestock for those in need.

The Giving Machine will be at Gathering Place through Dec. 2. This year’s featured charities include Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma, Tulsa Dream Center, Emergency Infant Services, Broken Arrow Neighbors, Fostering Hope of Muskogee, Church World Service, and WaterAid.

Items in the machine range in price from $10 to $250. 100% of all donations go directly to the participating charities.

Donors can also contribute online at Church of Jesus Christ Giving Machines.
