The Light the World initiative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites all to share the light and love of Jesus Christ during the 2025 Christmas season. Men, women and children are encouraged to reach out and serve others in honor of the Savior’s birth.
The global initiative kicked off in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and has since spread to other locations around the world.
This year, Giving Machine kiosks are available in 126 cities across 21 countries and on six continents.
