NOV 25 Feeling generous? You’re in luck, because Eugene is getting its fi rst ever Giving Machine ! The Giving Machine provided by Light the World — a ministry of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — allows you to donate to a local or international nonprofi t with the swipe of a card and the press of a button, just like a vending machine. To celebrate the launch, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Valley River Center on Monday, Nov. 25, just in time for Thanksgiving. In attendance at the ribbon cutting will be Eugene Mayor-elect Kaarin Knudson; District 4 Commissioner Pat Farr; singer-songwriter Evynne Hollens; Olympic shot putter Jaida Ross; Olympic middle-distance runner Klaudia Kazimier- ska; and Dino Philyaw, former running back and kick returner for the Oregon Ducks, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. Local nonprofi ts featured in that big red box (not to be confused with a Eugene Weekly newsstand) are FOOD For Lane County, ShelterCare, CASA, Catholic Commu- nity Services of Lane County and Community Sharing. Donations go directly to the organization you’re giving to; 100 percent of it! There are also plenty of international organizations to choose from. Don’t worry if you miss the ribbon cutting ceremony, as the Giving Machine will be ready and waiting for donations until Dec. 15. — Emma J Nelson The Giving Machine launch is 9 am Monday, Nov. 25, near Kay Jeweler’s, 259 Valley River Center.
