Voices of Hope International Overdose Awareness Day Vigil

Description

You are warmly invited to join Voices of Hope for our International Overdose Awareness Day Vigil on Monday, August 31, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

Each year, our community comes together to honor the lives of those we have lost to substance use, support those who are grieving, and stand together in hope for recovery. Whether you have experienced loss personally, support someone who has, or simply want to show your support, we welcome you to join us.

We invite attendees to bring a photo of their loved one to be included in our memorial display as we remember and celebrate the lives that continue to be cherished.

During the vigil, you can expect:

• Heartfelt stories of loss, hope, and recovery
• A candlelight remembrance ceremony
• A memorial display honoring loved ones
• Community resources and support services
• Free Narcan
• Live music
