The Texas Giving Machine, with its crew of youth and adults clad in red “Light the World” t-shirts, is gearing up to provide the first of many full apartment furnishings this Friday evening to a family of 10.
The Giving Machine built by youth from @churchofjesuschristsat Seguin congregation has been showing up all over the area. From parades to Seguin City Hall meetings and other community events. The Giving Machine has pictures of 72 items displayed that people can purchase.
They can purchase items directly and drop them off at the First United Bank in Seguin, where the machine will be during the day. Or they can go through the Amazon registry and scan the QR code on the back of each item’s picture.
The boxes from the Amazon registry are piling up at Bishop Tim Bird’s house. Youth in the Seguin congregation are taking time to help unbox and categorize the items, readying them for a refugee family.
The young children in the Seguin congregation, ages 8 to 11, were able to get involved in the @seguinstableproject with thank you notes. The children wrote notes of appreciation to the many people who have purchased items off the registry from our area and around the country.
