An interactive Remembrance & Hope installation will be in the green area at this location from 8/10/26 until around mid September. Please come by to add a picture, note, and whatever you want about your loved one lost to overdose. There will be lines and clothespins to hang them. There will also be a Purple Pantry in place that holds a Purple Mailbox for notes (that will – with your permission) be included in the creation of a found poem to be shared at the event on 8/28.

We will gather at 6:30 with Resource Tables and casually connecting with one another. At 7:30, we will circle up and share support and memories. A found poem will be shared from notes shared in the Purple Pantries around town and at this location. Christelle Marsh will share her experience of losing her brother to overdose. The circle will then be open for all who want to share out loud about their loved one and their experience. We will hold those loved ones – the ones whose names are spoken and the ones who are held silently – together in this circle, being community together to honor them and to love you.
