Free Narcan Vending Machines

Help Combat the #1 Killer of Adults

18 to 45 – Fentanyl Overdoses.

Are You Ready to Help Save Lives?

Our Free Narcan Vending Machine Program, led by Conscience Conduit in partnership with Livegy and our collaborators across North Texas and the nation, is a unique initiative that blends community engagement with the arts to make a lifesaving difference.

The original refurbished vending machines, transformed into vibrant works of art, dispensed free Narcan to those in need. This ongoing program has proven to be not just about preventing overdoses; it’s about saving and building lives by fostering community connections and supporting a work program that integrates local artists. With each machine costing only a modest amount, we successfully met our initial challenge to place 30 machines throughout North Texas and the Nation—a target achieved with the backing of our dedicated partners, volunteers, and financial supporters. We have worked with institutions from Alaska to Florida, and we are proud to collaborate with partners in North Carolina, Arkansas CAHR, Live Nation in Washington, and organizations across Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas, paving the way for national expansion.

Building on this success, we have expanded to include Metal and 3D printed designs and are now fully headed towards our 2026 Art of the Machine IV (AOMIV). We work with artists for on-demand production and are taking efforts to unify critical data through the use of QR codes for optional feedback surveys. We provide access to resources through findhelp.org via QR codes on the machines and the Narcan packaging. Additionally, we provide a DIY guide to empower other communities to adopt this life-saving model. 

Delivering Anonymous Critical Data & Resources

To measure our impact, we implemented QR stickers for Narcan and our partners over a year ago. These stickers are freely available to everyone, and we openly share the collected information with public health departments and partners. We now have data for the past year, and it tells a clear story about our educational impact: The 328 scans of our medication Help stickers reveal that the vast majority of activity (87.5 percent) is focused on resources and training: 156 scans were people actively looking for help, and 131 scans were for learning how to administer Narcan. Only 41 of those scans (12.5 percent of total activity) were related to a potential medication use event.
