By Matthew McCully – The Salvation Army in Sherbrooke is now home to a sort of ‘anti’ vending machine called the Partage Box, the second in the world and first of its kind in North America.
Rather than sell goods, the machine dispenses hygiene products free of charge to homeless people.
The idea for the Partage Box came from local resident Sondès Allal, who has been involved in a number of projects in Sherbrooke supporting marginalized communities, whether through her job with the Corporation de développement économique communautaire de Sherbrooke (CDEC), or as a volunteer.
