EmpoWHER Cleveland

SUPPORT DIGNITY. ADVANCE HEALTH. EMPOWER WOMEN.

For nearly 30 years, The Centers has led harm reduction efforts in Greater Cleveland, delivering lifesaving tools and compassionate, judgment-free support.

Now, we’re proud to introduce the EmpoWHER Vending Machine—an innovative harm reduction and wellness resource located at our Midtown Health & Wellness Campus on Euclid Avenue. Available during normal business hours, this vending machine is a cornerstone of our Basic Needs Resource Center and reflects our integrated 2Gen (Two-Generation) approach and Perinatal Support Program to care for women and families holistically.

Your support ensures the machine remains a vibrant, sustainable resource:

  • Stocked with essential, lifesaving supplies

Together, we can expand this model to more neighborhoods —making access equitable, compassionate, and continuous.
