The Bakersfield Giving Machines

The Bakersfield Giving Machines will be back in the Shops at Riverwalk near DSW Shoes a little earlier this year, November 17 – December 10th. This is the second time Bakersfield has been selected as one of 126 cities worldwide to host the big red Giving Machines, and it will help our local nonprofits assist Bakersfield residents this holiday season. It is the feel-good story of the year! The Giving Machine Initiative brings communities together to provide relief to individuals and families lacking necessities like warm clothes, diapers, or milk.

 Giving Machines are customized red vending machines with a twist. Instead of dispensing candy or soda, they allow people to donate items and services to help others, whether they live across the street or around the world. The Giving Machine Initiative is a unique, fun, and memorable way to do an instant act of kindness for someone in need.
