Franklin Vigil for International Overdose Awareness Day hosted by SAFE Coalition
Advertisement
Last year, 1,763 people died from overdose in Massachusetts.
Join us for International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31 to remember and honor loved ones we’ve lost to overdose.
COMMUNITY VIGILS
SAFE will host community vigils from 5–6 p.m. at two locations:
• Franklin Town Common (200 Main St.)
• Wrentham Town Common (1 Franklin St.)
We encourage attendees to bring photos of loved ones to place on a special memorial display table at the vigils.
MEMORIAL FLAG DISPLAYS
In addition to the vigils, SAFE will collaborate with community members to place memorial flags across the county:
• Franklin Town Common
• Wrentham Town Common
• Norfolk Town Hill lawn
• Medway Town Hall lawn
Those interested in helping can sign up at https://www.safecoalitionma.org/ioad
Together we can reduce substance use disorder stigma, increase understanding and awareness, remember those who died of overdose, and prevent drug-related harm.
