Rome’s first Giving Machine kiosks were launched in Piazza della Repubblica on Monday, December 8, 2025, offering a simple and impactful way for the public to support UNICEF, the Community of Sant’Egidio, and the Italian Red Cross during the Christmas season. The humanitarian collaborators emphasized the initiative’s unique ability to direct practical aid to vulnerable children, families, and the elderly.
Representatives from the three nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) were joined by civic and Church leaders for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, including Senate Majority Leader Lucio Malan.
“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is very active in Italy, much more active than the numbers suggest, and this also explains why you are growing,” said Senator Malan. “This initiative also represents the implementation of the word of Jesus Christ. Thank you for everything you do!”
