Texas Giving Machines

The Texas Giving Machines are coming to DFW! Who is ready for the joy of giving this Christmas? The season's most meaningful gifts, now in a vending machine! For the first time ever, the Giving Machines will be here in DFW this December. Rather than buying snacks or sodas, Giving Machines allow people to purchase an item for someone else—across town or around the world! A Giving Machine is a vending machine for charity! The Texas Giving Machines will support 8 local and 2 global charities. 

Each machine includes cards representing items requested by participating nonprofit organizations. Donors review the items and select what they wish to purchase. After payment is complete, the cards drop into a sealed collection bin. Giving Machine items include meals, shelter, clothing, educational assistance, healthcare services, immunizations, hygiene kits, job training, chickens and more!. The variety of items and prices make it possible for any one of any age to give. The Giving Machine accepts credit/debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express via tap or swipe (no chip readers) and mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) Sorry, no cash. 

You, your family & friends will leave the experience with a feeling of joy and gratitude that no candy bar will ever equal. Save these dates and start planning your visit! Fort Worth - Sundance Square December 5th - December 7th; Grapevine - Main Street December 9th - December 17th; McKinney - Town Square December 19th - January 1st.

Temples 

Members who want to attend the Dallas Texas Temple to perform proxy ordinances now have the option to either schedule an appointment or attend without an appointment, where space is available.

As priority will be given to members with appointments, those who attend without an appointment may be asked to wait for an opportunity to participate. As it has always been, appointments will still be necessary for all members who come to receive their own ordinances (endowment and sealing).

You are encouraged to attend the temple as often as your circumstances allow.

You can reserve an appointment on https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org, in the Member Tools app, or by calling the temple. Also you may now schedule multiple appointments for any ordinance in any temple. 

Emergency Prep

To winterize your car, attend to the following:

• Battery and ignition system should be in top condition and battery terminals

clean.

• Ensure antifreeze levels are sufficient to avoid freezing.

• Ensure the heater and defroster work properly.

• Check and repair windshield wiper equipment; ensure proper washer fluid

level.

• Ensure the thermostat works properly.

• Check lights and flashing hazard lights for serviceability.

• Check for leaks and crimped pipes in the exhaust system; repair or replace as

necessary. Carbon monoxide is deadly and usually gives no warning.

Check breaks for wear and fluid levels.

• Check oil for level and weight. Heavier oils congeal more at low temperatures

and do not lubricate as well.

• Consider snow tires, snow tires with studs, or chains.

• Replace fuel and air filters. Keep water out of the system by using additives

and maintaining a full tank of gas.
