Public Health Vending Machines

24/7 access to no-cost health supplies — naloxone, test strips, safe disposal kits, safer-use supplies, and more — with no appointment, no questions, and no judgment. This page lists machine locations in the area, what’s typically stocked, and what to do if something’s out.

Hope Council Vending Machine

The short version

Always open

Vending machine access doesn’t keep business hours — Kenosha County’s first machine runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Always free

Every supply is no-cost. No payment, no account, no card.

Always anonymous

No sign-in, no questions, no judgment. Walk up, take what you need.

Stock varies

Machines are restocked regularly, but supplies are used — if something’s out, the front desk and the alternatives below have you covered.

Where the machines are

Outside the Hope Council Office

6103 39th Ave., Kenosha, WI 53142 – Outdoors, 24/7

Access: 24/7, 365 days a year, outside the building — no entry required. Typically stocked: naloxone, fentanyl, and xylazine test strips, safe disposal kits, COVID-19 test kits, condoms, emergency contraception, and other health supplies — subject to availability.

Kenosha County Public Health operates harm reduction vending machines at three additional locations, plus a nearby City of Racine machine:

Kenosha County WIC Office

2000 63rd St., Kenosha (Uptown) — outdoors, 24/7

Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other health supplies, free of charge.

Kenosha County Job Center

8600 Sheridan Road, Kenosha — indoors

Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other health supplies, free of charge.

The Sharing Center

25700 Wilmot Road, Trevor — outdoors, 24/7

Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other health supplies, free of charge — the western-county option.

Corinne Reid Owens Transit Center (Racine)

1409 State Street, Racine — indoors

262-636-9431

Naloxone nasal spray, fentanyl test strips, hygiene kits, condoms, emergency contraception, and other items; selection varies. City of Racine Public Health.

When something’s out of stock

Machines get used — that’s the point. If what you need is out:

  • The Hope Council front desk has supplies during business hours: Monday–Thursday 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., Friday 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

  • Vivent Health’s Kenosha location (1212 57th St.) carries naloxone and safer-use supplies.

  • Or call 262-658-8166 and ask — staff will tell you the fastest option today.

To report an empty machine, call or email info@hopecouncil.org — it helps with restocking.

Why this works

Help shouldn’t keep business hours, and barriers cost lives. A vending machine asks nothing of the person standing in front of it — not their name, their story, or their readiness — and that’s exactly why it works. In its first year, Hope Council’s machine distributed 448 doses of naloxone (2023). Every one was a chance for someone’s story to keep going.

Common Questions

Is it really free and anonymous?2026-07-10T16:52:21-05:00

Yes and yes. No payment, no sign-in, no cameras pointed at your choices. Walk up, take what you need.

What if I need something the machine doesn’t carry?2026-07-10T16:52:34-05:00

The front desk carries additional supplies (including syringe service packs, 18+) during business hours, and staff can point you anywhere else: 262-658-8166.

Are there other machines in the area?2026-07-10T16:52:46-05:00

Yes. Hope Council’s machine was Kenosha County’s first, and Kenosha County Public Health now operates machines at the WIC office (Uptown), the Job Center, and The Sharing Center in Trevor — plus a City of Racine machine at the State Street transit center. All locations are listed above.

Who pays for this?2026-07-10T16:53:07-05:00

The machine was established through a Wisconsin Department of Health Services grant, and community support keeps supplies stocked — one of the most direct things donations do.
