Spread Happiness With The Giving Machine

Instead of a typical vending machine where you buy something for yourself, the Giving Machine works in reverse. It gives users the opportunity to purchase a variety of much-needed items like blankets, food, toiletries, groceries and petrol for families in need via local charities including the Children's Hospital Foundation, Rosies and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

A Christmas season staple in global locations such as New York, Nashville and Manila, the Giving Machine is located at Logan Hyperdome in Brisbane, where it will remain until December 28.
