The Giving Station is a unique way for community members to support local nonprofits through small, tangible gifts. Located at the MAYSA Arena throughout the holiday season, the Giving Station allows you to choose an item that represents the kind of impact you want to make, then make a donation right at the machine.
The Giving Station is an initiative of Give360, a giving circle of the Minot Area Community Foundation. The idea was born from a simple belief: giving can make a difference, no matter how small.
With the generous donation of a vending machine from Pepsi and Northern Bottling, Give360 is bringing that idea to life in a fun and approachable way.
Five local nonprofits are represented in the Giving Station, giving you the opportunity to make an impact in a way that feels meaningful to you. You might purchase:
100% of every Giving Station donation goes directly to the nonprofit represented by that item.
Purchase a pack of macaroni? That donation goes to provide a pack of macaroni for Backpack Buddies. Purchase a meal? Your donation helps provide that meal through Meals on Wheels.
There are no credit card or administrative fees taken from your donation.
Bring your family, friends or coworkers to the MAYSA Arena, check out the Giving Station’s “inventory” and choose an item to donate. One item at a time, we can make a difference in our community.
It’s giving made tangible. It’s giving made manageable. And it’s giving that stays right here in our community.
