Safety should not depend
on opening hours.
We envision community access to lifesaving harm reduction supplies when and where people need them.
A next step for Waypoint
Waypoint plans to purchase harm reduction vending machines and develop low-barrier distribution with community partners.
Our goal is to reduce the barriers created by distance, limited opening hours, stigma, and difficult intake processes.
Machines, host locations, launch dates, and supply arrangements have not been announced. This page describes our intended direction.
What access could include
- Naloxone and overdose-response information
- Fentanyl test strips and other drug-checking tools
- Sterile safer-use supplies
- Sharps disposal containers
- Wound-care materials
Final contents and access depend on local rules, community needs, funding, and partner arrangements.
Access takes more than a machine.
Community-informed locations
People who use drugs and local harm reduction programs should help identify access gaps and practical locations.
Reliable supplies
Future planning needs to account for stocking, maintenance, accessibility, privacy, and clear instructions.
Report what happens
Once a program operates, we aim to report access points and supply distribution, with clear definitions and without identifying visitors.

HRF already lists vending machines and other access points run by community organizations. Check each listing: hours, supply availability, and enrollment rules vary.
