National Overdose Awareness Day Resource Fair & Candlelight Vigil
Join Passion and Purpose Ministries for an evening of remembrance, hope, and community as we recognize National Overdose Awareness Day.
The evening begins with a Community Resource Fair featuring local organizations that provide prevention, treatment, recovery, mental health, harm reduction, and family support services. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with community partners, access resources, and learn about services available throughout San Joaquin County.
As the sun sets, we will gather for a Candlelight Vigil to honor the lives lost to overdose, recognize those still living with substance use disorder, celebrate individuals in recovery, and stand alongside the families, friends, and communities affected by overdose.
Whether you have been personally impacted or simply want to show your support, everyone is welcome. Together, we can reduce stigma, inspire hope, and remind one another that every life is valuable and every story matters.
