We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support our Overdose Awareness Event last night at Central Park.

It was a truly meaningful evening filled with remembrance, hope, connection, and support. 🕯️✨ We are incredibly grateful for everyone in our community who continues to stand behind and support our recovery community.

A very special THANK YOU to all of the amazing organizations and community partners who set up tables, shared valuable resources, answered questions, and helped make the evening so meaningful. Your willingness to show up and support those impacted by substance use and recovery means more than you know.

To everyone who walked with us, shared a testimony, remembered a loved one, volunteered, provided resources, or simply showed up — thank you.

We couldn't do it without you. 💜
