California Communities Pilot Wellness Vending Machines—And Students Love It

Discover how 17 California community colleges piloted wellness vending machines offering menstrual products, EC, and more via a $15,000 grant. Learn how My BIO TESTS offers turnkey wellness solutions for campuses.

In 2022–23, 17 California community colleges received one-time grants of $15,000 each to install wellness vending machines stocked with menstrual products, emergency contraception, and other essential care items.  These machines filled critical gaps—especially where health centers were under-resourced or inaccessible.

Pilot campuses report strong student demand and appreciation. These vending machines are transforming care access by offering privacy, affordability, and 24/7 availability of vital products.

My BIO TESTS builds on this momentum—offering turnkey wellness vending machine solutions at no cost, with flexible product selections, low-cost stocking options, and hassle-free setup. We’ll help your campus replicate this success without navigating grant constraints.
