CWP CARES (Community Access to Resources, Education & Supplies) | Community Wellness Project
CWP CARES is a branded network of health vending machines designed to meet people where they are 24/7, without judgment. Placed in barbershops, laundromats, transit hubs, and other accessible community spaces across Missouri, each machine provides HIV rapid test kits, male and female condoms and lubricant, PrEP information cards with QR codes linking directly to CWP’s peer navigation services, fentanyl test strips and Narcan kits, and resource cards for CWP appointment booking.
The machines are stocked and maintained by CWP peer navigators, and every QR code connects users directly to CWP’s free services and booking portal. CWP CARES removes the friction of clinic hours, stigma, and transportation, every vend is a moment of dignity and a bridge to full care.
