To Our Caring Community:

Greg passed away on November 2, 2016 at the young age of 33. He was a well-known advocate in the North Shore Drug Rehabilitation community, resident of Saugus and graduate of St Mary’s High School of Lynn, class of 2002. By day, he worked for the Boston Health Commission as part of the AHOPE Harm Reduction Program. In his off time, he volunteered his great efforts to peo

ple and local community organizations dedicated to combating the area’s opioid epidemic as well as Healthy Streets Outreach Program of Lynn MA. He strived to make personal connections and to treat all he encountered with compassion and respect. In honor of Greg and his work; his family, friends, and community have come together to create a fund in his name to help continue the fight against addiction by supporting those who help people, who are suffering from addiction, and those at their most vulnerable stages. Aside from financial support to Harm Reduction programs, The Gregory King Memorial fund provides clothing and personal care products for Harm Reduction coordinators to distribute to their clients to help foster a personal connection to their clients, This personal connection leads to an increase in trust so addicts may become more receptive to ideas that may lead to them entering a recovery program.
