A Night in Bethlehem is a live nativity event to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This charitable, interfaith community event will bring thousands of families and individuals together in the spirit of service and giving during the Christmas season. This unique event invites the visitor to travel back in history to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Bethlehem and learn of Jesus’s birth. The event supports more than a dozen local nonprofit organizations that provide vital assistance for veterans and others in need — ranging from food pantries and shelters to organizations offering clothing, toys, hygiene supplies, and other critical resources.
Visitors can also ‘give differently’ this holiday season by visiting the Giving Machine vending machine that will be available at this event. Instead of purchasing snacks or drinks, participants “buy” charitable gifts such as meals, clean water, hygiene kits, education assistance, and even chicken or goats that help families achieve self-reliance. Items start at $5. In 2024, approximately 850,000 visitors to Giving Machines worldwide purchased more than 490,000 charitable items
