About Our Program
The National Children’s Cancer Society (NCCS) is proud to partner with individuals and businesses nationwide through our Vending Program, a unique opportunity to turn everyday business operations into meaningful support for children with cancer.
This program is ideal for those who own or operate small or large vending machines, honor boxes, ATMs, or charging kiosks and want to align their work with a powerful mission. Through a simple licensing agreement, participants commit to a regular royalty payment based on the number of units placed. These contributions directly support critical programs and services that help children battling cancer and their families.
By joining the NCCS Vending Program, participants not only support a worthy cause; they also enhance the visibility and appeal of their machines. Displaying the NCCS label shows customers and location managers that you’re giving back, making your machines more likely to be welcomed and used.
PLEASE NOTE: The NCCS does not own or operate vending machines or honor boxes, nor do we endorse distributors or manage machine placement. We serve solely as the charitable beneficiary of royalty payments and work in partnership with vendors who participate in our program.
Partner with Us
Participating in the Charity Vending Program goes far beyond business. It’s a chance to:

- Machines branded with charity vending stickers from the NCCS may attract more attention and goodwill from customers who appreciate businesses that care
Join a nationwide community committed to making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer and their families.
