The Greater Green Bay YMCA launched  a new Public Health Vending Machine outside the Ferguson Family YMCA, located on the Pine Stree side of the building.

Open to the public 24/7, this free, anonymous resource is designed to support community wellness, reduce harm, and expand access to lifesaving supplies such as Narcan (naloxone), fentanyl test strips and essential health items.

The Greater Green Bay YMCA is currently seeking partner organizations to help stock the machine with additional essential health items, such as:

  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • First aid kits
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Soap and personal care items
  • Bandages
  • Basic wound care or cold/flu items

Organizations interested in supporting the Public Health Vending Machine can contact the Greater Green Bay YMCA at enews@greenbayymca.org.
