Just went live with machine #11 at the Chandler Police Department main station. We started discussions about our fresh food vending machines at police stations 14 months ago and have since met with about a half dozen different departments. Health and wellness is a big initiative in all police departments across the valley and our healthy meals and streamlined state of the art machines align beautifully with these initiatives.
We saw a lot of potential with law enforcement locations, and also saw a lot of potential to help others, which is really why we do this. But, law enforcement and government is a tough nut to crack, so we’ve been patient and was the first to get on board. Two weeks ago we installed at their training facility and today we installed at their main station.
Need to give a big shoutout to Kim Cairns for helping us get our foot in the door and for spreading the word about what we do. Kim does nutritional seminars with all the departments in the valley and teaches how big of a role nutrition plays in both physical and mental health. She has been our advocate and we are so grateful for her, and the city of Chandler for being the first to implement.
Also want to thank the Chandler PD Wellness Coordinator Brooke for helping us push this through, and our machine queen Tracy for being on this journey with me since machine #1.
We look to make local healthy food convenient, affordable, tasty and available to all walks of life right there where they work, workout or live.
