NEW YORK CITY — On the eve of Giving Tuesday, in Times Square — the crossroads of the world — leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in the global launch of the 2023 Light the World Giving Machines campaign on Monday, Nov. 27.
Standing at the intersection of commerce, tourism and entertainment in the United States, Elder David L. Buckner, an Area Seventy in New York City, said the event is a symbol of hope for “greater light in the world.”
“We invite all to ‘Light the World,’” he said.
This is the first time the red Giving Machines have stood in Times Square — where more than 125,000 pedestrians walk each day.
