Opioid Awareness Day of Hope and Education

Opioid Awareness Day of Hope and Education brings our community together to face opioid use honestly and with compassion. Learn how addiction affects women, families, and neighbors, and hear practical ways recovery can take root.

This event will be a fun day with Bounce Houses, Food Vendors, Speakers and real stories.  We will also have information and resources. Please complete this form to send us the name of your loved one.  We will be holding a special Memorial Ceremony to honor the lives of those we have lost to addiction.

We know that behind every name is a story, a family, and a love that never goes away.

If you would like your loved one remembered during this time, we invite you to share their name with us so it may be read aloud as part of the ceremony.

There is no right or wrong way to participate—this is simply an opportunity to honor, remember, and hold space together as a community.  Please send us your pictures if you would like them included in our slideshow.

All submissions will be handled with care and respect.

We carry them with us. Always.
