Instead of snacks, a new vending machine in Brooklyn is stocked with Naloxone, fentanyl test strips and other products to prevent drug overdoses. Christinafantv reports.
"I think it's a good idea," said Rose Meredith, of Ocean Hill."This costs money and people right now in this neighborhood cannot afford anything."
Elan Quashie, with the nonprofit Services for the UnderServed, said the products in these vending machines are crucial. His nonprofit is responsible for keeping the vending machines stocked. "It shouldn't be luck or privilege that gets you into services. It should be easily accessible to everyone we know and love," said Rebecca Linn-Walton, with Services for the UnderServed.
