Vending Machines
The harm reduction vending machines are part of a comprehensive effort to meet people where they are. We can offer community members supplies that reduce harm and prevent overdose, helping them avoid potentially devastating and costly diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. Supplies in the machines can include items such as naloxone, deterra bags, safe sex supplies, fentanyl test strips, and first aid supplies.
Locations:
- Cincinnati Fire Department Station 3 at 329 E. 9th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
- Neighborhub Health’s Integrated Care Clinic at 40 E. McMicken, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
To gain access to the machines, you may call 513-801-6330 between 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday OR complete this online survey.
