Charity Uses Vending Machines to Feed and Clothe the Homeless

Posted on December 15, 2017 by Joseph Orsino

Winter can be hard on the homeless populations in the U.K., but a charity called Action Hunger is employing a unique new strategy to make life a little easier for the country’s most vulnerable citizens. Recently, the charity announced plans to stock a vending machine in Nottingham, England with necessities like fresh fruit, sandwiches, toothpaste and socks that can be accessed by the city’s homeless population free of charge. Many of the food items are being donated by local supermarkets.

Key cards will be issued to homeless individuals based on their level of need by partner organizations such as counseling centers and shelters. These key cards will grant access to three vending machine items per day.

“We want our low-cost solution to complement other services that are available, as engagement with professionals and local support services is instrumental to breaking the cycle of homelessness,” says the charity’s website.

Action Hunger has only deployed one of its vending machines so far, but the charity already has plans to install more machines in Manchester, London, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle as well. Homelessness has become an increasingly prevalent issue in many cities in recent years, and the founders of Action Hunger hope that their vending machine service, in conjunction with other local charities and government outreach programs, might help to alleviate homeless rates across the globe.

Stay Satisfied This Semester

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Joseph Orsino

It’s getting to be that time of year for college students. The semester is getting around halfway done and finals are not too far away. That means putting in long hours at the library, studying and making sure their papers are done and they know everything they need to make it to summer break.

While in the library for hours at a time, it’s a certainty many students will get hungry and their stomachs will be making noise in what are normally quiet libraries. This also leaves the student unable to go and grab a whole meal at a campus dining hall or their off campus house.

What is better for them then to have vending machines at their disposal to make sure no one goes hungry and has enough energy to make it through their cram session?

What Students Like To Munch On When Studying

Now many may reach for junk food but many vending machines could offer healthier options such Nutri-Grain granola bars or even fresh fruit. So even if has left all of their studying to the last minute they can at least make a smart decision with what they choose to eat to keep themselves going. It would be not only convenient, but a great way to help students eat a little better during a time when pizza and beer make up their diets.

For vending machines with endless options, Orsino Vending has got you covered. We offer everything from fruit to sandwiches to Hershey products. For more information on what we could offer you, contact us today!

Keep Your Recreation Center Fit With These Healthy Vending Machines

Posted on February 23, 2015 by Joseph Orsino

It’s been a long day at the YMCA. A few runs around the track, swims in the pool, and workouts have left you swamped, and thirsty. You need something that will rejuvenate your energy, not satisfy your cravings. But that vending machine in the locker room only has soda, soda, and more soda. Sweetened iced tea after a healthy exercise? We think not.

It’s almost too glaring of an irony for recreation centers like the YMCA or the Boys and Girls Club to have vending machines that are stacked with sugar. The last thing you want in your workout space is more calories. A higher sugar count, in the end, sadly makes everything you just worked for mean nothing. That’s why recreation centers across the country are seeking a healthy alternative, and Orsino Vending machines can deliver exactly that.

Sustenance For Growing, Active Children

With our fresh food options, athletes alike can continue their sustainable diet without worrying about pigging out. These machines offer salads and sandwiches that are low on fat but high on nutrients. Not to mention that they taste great, too. And to wash it all down, we opt for juices, shakes, and other beneficial beverages that will quench your thirst, but not your weight scale. Really, it isn’t hard to replace the soda with a juice. It’s actually just the click of a button.

We want to make sure our customers are not only enjoying our products on a taste level, but also, on a nutritional level. Because a healthy life is a healthy diet, which is just as important to a workout than the actual workout itself. And this starts, first and foremost, in our recreation centers, for both young and old, where exercise is most prevalent and rewarding. Let’s not let ourselves or our kids down — let’s get healthy.

Benefits Of Having A Healthy Drink Machine At School

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Joseph Orsino

It is very common today to have vending machines in schools, specifically in the middle and high school. Vending machines are a great way for students and staff to get that necessary refresher during the day, especially if they forgot lunch that day.

Studies have shown greater productivity and student attentiveness when stomachs are fuller. Obviously, this does not apply when snacks and soda are the sole types of food and drink to be consumed during the school day. A vending machine stocked with healthy choices is much more suitable for a school atmosphere.

When we think of vending machines, we might automatically turn to food machines. But calories don’t need to come from just food, keeping hydrated with healthy drinks is important too. The average student spends a lot of time each day moving about from class to locker and back to class again. Let’s not forget about physical education and after school sports.

Important To Stay Hydrated

When thirst is not quenched, dehydration can quickly become an issue. Drink vending machines are very important, but can become problematic when the drinks supplied are high in sugar and low in good calories.

The right drinks to remain hydrated include water, Gatorade, low sugar fruit juices, milk and orange juice.

Students will gravitate towards these healthy drinks when they are available. For quality vending machines and services, contact Orsino Vending today. We would be happy to discuss supplying your school with food and drink vending machines.

It’s only a matter of time before your machines become the new water coolers.

Don’t Forget The Snacks

That’s not to mention the food. Of course, our vending machines have the basics: chips, cookies, pretzels, and other small snacks to get you through your day. But, in a bustling building, why not step up a notch? Our more high-quality machines are stacked with everything your residents will love come breakfast, lunch, and dinner time: assorted hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, fruits, garden fresh salads, and even hot soups. These foods are stocked daily, and are sure to become instant favorites of the building. It won’t be too long before there’s a line.
