Join the Vigil for National Overdose Awareness Day on Wednesday

We all know someone who's struggled with addiction. To see someone come out on the other side of it is really special.

My cousin Larry & his wife Robin will be talking about their experiences and how they are now living examples of how you can turn your life around. Wednesday, August 31, 2022, is National Overdose Awareness Day. This started in 2001 as a way to raise awareness and commemorate those who have been lost to drug overdose.

Just last week, President Biden proclaimed August 28 through September 3, 2022, as Overdose Awareness Week.

The overdose epidemic has taken a heartbreaking toll on our Nation, claiming the lives of far too many Americans and devastating families and communities across the country. During Overdose Awareness Week, we renew our commitment to taking bold action to prevent overdoses and related deaths.
