Giving machines return to Scissortail Park to support Oklahoma City nonprofits The giving machines, a holiday tradition, will return to Scissortail Park this December, offering Oklahomans a chance to donate to five local charities through unique vending machines. OKLAHOMA CITY —The giving machines, a holiday tradition built around generosity, will return to Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City from Dec. 11 through Jan. 1, benefiting five local nonprofits. When these big red vending machines arrive, they won’t be stocked with candy or soda but with cards representing real needs in the community. Oklahomans can purchase items ranging from $10 to $150, such as a holiday meal for a family, a week of transportation for a survivor of domestic violence, or a day at camp for a child facing a serious illness. “I don’t think we can even understand the impact,” said Suzy Sultemeier, an organizer of the OKC giving machines. This year marks the third time the giving machines will be in Oklahoma City, benefiting The Spero Project, Sunbeam Family Services, The Salvation Army, Children’s Health Foundation and Palomar.

Authorities said the victim was found dead in the eastbound lanes just before 5:30 a.m. The Port Authority reopened the left lane of the Trans Manhattan Expressway to trucks and tractor-trailers in an effort to ease congestion. All other traffic continues to be diverted to local streets while the investigation remains ongoing. The closure created significant delays for drivers heading into New York from New Jersey during the morning rush. Residents in Fort Lee were advised to expect inbound traffic restrictions lasting up to six hours as investigators processed the scene.
