Description
Archie's Promise has partnered with Rutherford County Schools, Office of Coordinated School Health in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Archie's Promise will introduce the concept of hygiene vending machines to nearby district schools as part of our collaboration. The hygiene vending machines are filled with feminine products, regular hygiene packs for men and women, soap, deodorant, and other hygiene products. We customize the machines based on the products we place in them. All items in the machines are free and accessible to all students. Rutherford County has five locations for hygiene vending machines: three high schools, one middle school, and one elementary school.
