This will be the 8th year that Max’s Mission and our many community partners will gather to remember those we have lost to overdose, distribute free naloxone and offer training on its use, and provide an opportunity to connect to the many services available in Southern Oregon. Typically, we are joined by over two dozen local organizations offering services to those in need and information to the general public. The event also features a live stage where speakers, naloxone use demonstrations and live music feature. Over the past several years businesses and organizations throughout Jackson and Josephine Counties were invited to display purple lights. Recovery centers, coffee shops, banks, restaurants, community justice, jails and police departments joined us in lighting up for a community wide remembrance event.
