Holiday Lights is an expansion farm for FarmVille introduced a few weeks ago by Zynga. Unlike other expansion farms, Holiday Lights is unique in that 100% of the Zynga’s share on in-game items is directed straight to charity. In a post on the Zynga blog, the company congratulated its players for raising one million dollars collectively for Feeding America, enough to deliver nine million meals to those in need. According to the post, sixty percent of the FarmVille population donated in some capacity.

To date, Zynga has raised $17 million for charities including Toys for Tots, children’s hospital, building schools in Haiti, and more. Thanks a million. Seventeen million, that is.
