Smart Vending

Healthy-Vending-LogoHealthy Vending is one step in the right direction on your path to wellness. It’s time to Live Smart, Eat Smart!  

M-NCPPC is creating healthy communities through people, parks, and programs. We’re bringing healthier snack and beverage choices to our vending machines throughout our various parks and recreation facilities all over the county.  

Why? We care about you and we care about your health!  

Why? Experts confirm that small steps to make healthier food and beverage options available in vending machines can help to reduce Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other recurring diseases.  

Why? Healthy grab-n-go food choices in our vending machines will help shape a healthier future for our communities.
