Giving Machine Maryland is three customized vending machines that provide a unique, memorable, and fun way for the public to care for and serve those in need.

The Giving Machine will be at Center Court at The Mall in Columbia from December 5th to 18th. Donors review pictorial cards and select those they wish to purchase. After payment is complete, the cards drop into a sealed collection bin at the bottom of the machine. Participating organizations receive an itemized summary and a check for 100% of the donated funds.

This year, the Giving Machine Maryland will feature items from five Maryland nonprofit organizations and two global organizations in 2024. The Maryland nonprofits are: 

• Bridges to Housing Stability

• Bright Minds Foundation

• Digital Harbor Foundation

• Franciscan Center

• Grassroots Crisis Intervention

• The global nonprofits the Giving Machine Maryland will support are Days for Girls and Mentors International.
