SAN DIEGO — Two festive vending machines have popped up in Old Town . Instead of soda and snacks, they offer a way to give back . The bright red 'Light the World Giving Machines' on Twiggs St. lets visitors surprise someone in need with a meaningful gift.“Instead of buying a candy bar or soda, you can actually buy something nice for someone in need,” said Tiffany Wickham, a representative of the initiative.
For as little as $5, you can provide breakfast for someone in need. You can also donate to feed a baby for a month, buy a pair of shoes for a child, or even purchase chickens and fruit trees to be sent to families to start small businesses.The Giving Machines in Old Town benefit five local and two international charities.
