4 Year Milestone for Condom Home Delivery

By Erie County Department of Health

Recently, the Erie County Department of Health's Community Health Services Division reached a four-year milestone for their FC2U (Free Condoms 2 U) home-delivery program. As part of the HIV Grant program, free condom distribution has been going strong for over a decade. In August 2016, the 'brown bag' distribution program began, in which local businesses and offices make free supplies available to the public. Launched at the end of April 2022, the FC2U program allows residents of Erie County to receive, at no cost, their selection of safe sex items, literature, and supplies delivered to their homes. The HIV grant funds cover materials and shipping.

Since its kick-off, the FC2U has averaged 4 packages a week all year long. That's nearly 1000 home shipments in four years, which is roughly 11,250 condoms/dental dams alone! In its fourth year, over 3,200 items were mailed to more than 20 zip codes across Erie County. Would you like to get free condoms or dental dams of your liking? Go to condoms.echiv.org/shop to get started!
