Vending Machines

PEACE of MIND products will be stocked and sold in all Target stores throughout the United States as well as in specially-designed vending machines accessible 24 hours a day in airports, schools, mall, and hospitals.

The PEACE of MIND vending machine has been designed to fit a range of products that fulfill the most immediate needs for comfort and security. Just as other vending machines sell energy drinks and powerbars for Americans always on the go, these new PEACE of MIND vending machines will sell security products for Americans always on alert. No matter the threat or threat level, relief can be yours with just the touch of a button.

The revolutionary PEACE of MIND vending machines have each been outfitted with the following special features:

Why a vending machine?

No one is ever sufficiently prepared when disaster strikes – whether the disaster in question is an earthquake, a flood, a bomb, a migraine headache or just everyday stress. Using vending machines to provide products for use in the event of a disaster offers several advantages:

1) Immediacy
In the event of a disaster – and especially given the range of disasters we face each day – it is impossible for even the most diligent survivalists to have all the necessary emergency-preparedness gear with them at all times. By having accessible vending machines stocked with all necessary security products, DHS can give Americans back their PEACE of MIND . With products guaranteed to be available all the time, there will be no more frantic searching for fishing line, bandages, candles, or clean drinking water. Simply buy what you need when you need it.

2) Economy
Using vending machines saves DHS money, therefore saving American citizens money. Vending machines keep costs low, reducing staffing needs and eliminating store leases. Because economic hardship can be as great a threat to Americans’ PEACE of MIND as any other, DHS strives to keep relief cheap and affordable for everyone.

3) Anonymity
While increasingly widespread, anxiety disorders can still be a source of embarrassment. Automated vending machines give stressed individuals the ability to purchase relief products discreetly. No need to worry about the machine passing judgment on the choices you make as a consumer.
