Jackson County Offers Freebie Hobo Cleanup Kits For Lee's Summit

This report reminds us that accommodation in the suburbs is a new reality for local life in this current economic epoch . . . 

"Building on the county's Narcan porch box program, the Bluebox provides items ranging from sunscreen and socks to personal hygiene kits. The first machine is located in the downtown Lee's Summit parking garage located at 200 SE Green Street.

"Jackson County selected downtown Lee Summit because it is a priority zip code for public health attention and a hot spot for fatal and nonfatal opioid overdoses. The location near Green Street also offers high foot traffic, which is expected to increase this summer with the World Cup and Football Fridays later this fall.

"The purpose of the Blue Box is to make health products accessible to anyone. Users simply select the item they want, enter their zip code so JCPH can collect data of what zip codes are using it, and take the product once it dispenses."
