Wrentham

Join us to remember and honor loved ones we’ve lost to overdose.

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is observed each August 31. On this day, communities worldwide come together to reduce overdose stigma, increase understanding and awareness, remember those who died of overdose, and prevent drug-related harm.

For IOAD, SAFE will host a community vigil from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Wrentham Town Common. Vigil attendees are encouraged to bring pictures of the loved ones they are honoring.

SAFE will also work with community members to place memorial flags across the region. To volunteer with SAFE for Overdose Awareness Day, complete this form forms.office.com/r/pXtEQrKpTi or email info@safecoalitionma.org
