Last week, our community came together to remember lives lost and to stand together in awareness, prevention, and hope. 💜
As we recognize Fentanyl Awareness Day, we’re sharing moments from our memorial event — not just to reflect, but to remind ourselves why this work matters so deeply.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is now involved in the majority of overdose deaths across the United States. It is often mixed into other substances without a person’s knowledge, making it especially dangerous — even a very small amount can be deadly.
This isn’t just a national issue — it’s impacting families, friends, and young people right here in our community.
Today, we honor those we’ve lost.
We stand with those who are grieving.
And we commit to continuing this work — through education, connection, and access to resources that save lives.
If you or someone you know is at risk:
• Carry naloxone
• Never use alone
• Test substances when possible
• Talk openly about the risks
Together, we can reduce stigma, spread awareness, and protect our community.
💜 Take a moment today to remember, to learn, and to share.
