NRVCS hosted its first local candlelight vigil for International Overdose Awareness Day back in 2017. We are honored to continue this annual tradition on Monday evening, August 31, in observance of International Overdose Awareness Day. The vigil is co-sponsored by the Radford Youth Adult Partnership (RYAP).

The public is invited to join us for this event – which will be conducted in front of the NRVCS Radford Center and 401 Peer Center – beginning at 7:30 PM. The brief program will conclude with lighting of candles, time for reflection and remembrance, and a memorial slideshow.

This event will be conducted rain or shine
