The free vending machines are located at the Mountain Line transfer center, Johnson Street shelter, Missoula Food Bank and Community Center and Hope Rescue Mission. The United Way received about $43,000 from the Independent Emergency Room Physicians Trust to purchase and maintain the vending machines. Narcan nasal spray for the machines is provided for free from the state through a federal grant. The University of Montana’s Students for Sensible Drug Policy program provides the fentanyl test strips.
