International Overdose Awareness

International Overdose Awareness

Yearly Candlelight vigil

In remembrance of our beloved family members, friends, and community members who have tragically lost their lives to overdose, we gather in a heartfelt tribute to honor their memories. This solemn occasion serves not only as a moment of reflection but also as a powerful reminder of the struggles many face with addiction and the profound impact it has on our lives. As we come together as a community, we share stories, shed tears, and celebrate the lives that were cut short far too soon. Each name represents a unique individual, with dreams, aspirations, and cherished moments that will forever remain in our hearts. This gathering is about fostering connection, compassion, and understanding, as we support one another in our grief and work towards breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. It is a time to advocate for awareness, prevention, and treatment, ensuring that those who are still struggling find the help they need. Together, we create a safe space for healing, remembrance, and hope, as we honor the legacy of those we have lost and commit to making a difference in the lives of others. Let us unite in love and solidarity, ensuring that their stories are never forgotten and that we continue to fight for a brighter future for all. - Project Manager- Val Barter
