Giving Machine

The Giving Machine is back at Clay Terrace this holiday season! The popular vending machine that works in reverse by giving users an opportunity to donate items to charities. Your first opportunity to see the Giving Machines will be on Friday, December 12th.

Giving Machines will stay open through January 4th, 2026. The vending machines allow users to purchase and donate items such as clothing, baby supplies, medicine, even livestock for people in need, here in Indiana and around the world. 100% of all donations go directly to the participating charities.

The Giving Machines are located between Pies & Pints and Harmony Poke & Bubble Tea (14490 Clay Terrace Blvd, Carmel, IN 46032).

Nonprofit beneficiaries selected this year include:

• Make-A-Wish
• Hatch for Hunger
• Brightlane Learning
• Dove Recovery House for Women
• Carmel Youth Assistance Program
• Lifting Hands International
• Right to Play

Donations can also be made at lighttheworld.org/give for those not able to use the machines in person.
