While many organizations exist to advise, shelter and assist the homeless, these organizations aren’t always available to the homeless at all times of the day. To fill the void, a charity in the UK has launched a free-to-use vending machine to give those who sleep on the streets round-the-clock access to essentials such as food and clothing. The machine stocks things such as fruit, snacks, sandwiches, sanitary products and small items of clothing, and everything is being made available free to homeless people via a key card system.
