MODESTO – The Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto paired up with a local church and is giving back this holiday season.
We’ve all seen different ways we give back during the holiday season, from volunteering to angel trees to toy drives.
But at the Vintage Faire Mall, they’re making giving back as easy as buying a candy bar.
“That’s why we signed up for it today because I thought what better day right than to do it on Christmas Eve,” Stan Lindsay said.
Giving machine volunteer Stan and his daughter, Melissa, spent their Christmas Eve manning the giving machine.
The mall and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints paired up for a second year in a row.
“That is a literal vending machine for nonprofits, both locally, regionally and internationally,” Vintage Faire Mall coordinator Amy McPhail said.
McPhail says the machine provides anyone on the move a chance to support a charity by using something that looks and acts just like a vending machine.
