Humane Society of Utah Announces Kickoff of Light the World Giving Machines at City Creek

Salt Lake City – Utah, Nov. 25, 2024 – The Humane Society of Utah (HSU) is thrilled to join the launch of the Light the World Campaign and the return of the Giving Machines at City Creek Center. The machines will be operational beginning Friday, Nov. 22, with an official kickoff event scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25, at noon. The Giving Machines offer a unique way for community members to donate essential items directly to HSU and other nonprofits. Items can be purchased through the machines, which will be available throughout the holiday season, making it easy to give back and support Utah’s animals in need.

Jennie Vuich, Development Director at the Humane Society of Utah, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are grateful for this incredible opportunity to join the Light the World Campaign. The Giving Machines allow our community to support animals in need directly and make a difference during this season of giving. We’re honored to be part of such an inspiring initiative.”

The kickoff event will take place in the plaza outside the City Creek food court, near the Cheesecake Factory. Speakers from the community and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will participate, and the One Voice Children’s Choir will perform.
