  • Waupaca County is the latest to add a public health vending machine offering free public health and safety supplies to anyone for free.

The article from MSN discusses a unique initiative in Waupaca, Wisconsin, where vending machines are being used to dispense life-saving health items like Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and hygiene products. These machines, located at the Waupaca County Health and Human Services building, aim to provide easy, anonymous access to these critical supplies, reducing the stigma associated with obtaining them. The project, spearheaded by the Waupaca County Opioid Task Force, not only seeks to address the opioid crisis by making Narcan readily available but also supports community health by offering items like condoms and hygiene kits. The machines operate 24/7, ensuring that individuals can access these resources at any time, which is particularly beneficial for those who might not seek help during regular business hours due to privacy concerns or other barriers.
