🚨 BREAKING NEWS!!! 🚨

Tomorrow, Paris District 95 Schools and Crestwood District 4 Schools will be WEARING PURPLE in support of National Recovery Month! 💜

We are beyond grateful and so incredibly proud of our community for coming together to recognize and celebrate individuals in recovery. Every purple shirt helps spread a powerful message: recovery is possible, recovery deserves to be celebrated, and no one should have to walk their recovery journey alone.

A HUGE thank you to our local schools, students, staff, and families for supporting recovery and helping us break the stigma surrounding substance use and mental health challenges.

💜 Tomorrow, WE will turn our schools PURPLE for recovery! 💜

We had an amazing turnout at our 3rd Annual Candlelight Vigil! Our hearts are full of gratitude for everyone who came together to remember those we have lost, support those who are still struggling, and stand together to bring hope and break the stigma surrounding substance use.

A huge thank you to New Beginnings Church for always providing such a beautiful and welcoming space for this special event. Thank you to all of our speakers for sharing your voices, stories, and hearts with us.

And a special thank you to the Keys Family for providing the delicious desserts for everyone to enjoy!

Most importantly, thank you to every person who attended. Your presence matters. Together, we remember. Together, we bring hope. Together, we can make a difference.

💜 RECOVERY MONTH SPOTLIGHT 💜

In honor of National Recovery Month, the Edgar County ROSC Council is proud to celebrate local People with Lived Experience (PLE) and the incredible strength, hope, and courage found in recovery.

Throughout September, we asked individuals in recovery to share their recovery date and 3–5 things they are grateful for today. Each story is a reminder that recovery is possible, hope is real, and every recovery journey deserves to be celebrated.

Join us as we recognize these amazing individuals, celebrate their recovery, and work together to break the stigma surrounding substance use disorder and mental health challenges.

Every story matters. Every recovery matters. Every person matters. 💜

We Can and Do Recover!

🎯 Edgar County ROSC Council is on the Road to 800! 🎯

Every voice matters, and every survey moves us forward! Our goal is to collect 800 community surveys, and we’ve turned it into a community game! For every 20 surveys completed, we move our ROSC marker forward one space on the Road to 800! 🛣️

📢 Follow along with us! We will update the board every Thursday so you can see how much closer our community is getting to 800 voices!

Your feedback helps us better understand what Edgar County needs and guides our work to improve resources, reduce barriers, and strengthen support in our community.

💜 Help us move the marker! Complete the survey, share it with your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors, and help us reach the finish line!

📲 Take the survey here:

Every 20 surveys = one space closer to 800!
Let’s see how quickly Edgar County can get us there! 💜

The Edgar County ROSC Council would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Ladies Group at Paris First United Methodist Church for their generous donation to our Pack the Backpack Drive!

Your generosity helps us fill backpacks with essential items and resources for individuals in our community who may need a little extra support. Every donation makes a difference, and we are incredibly grateful to have community partners who continue to step up and show compassion for our neighbors.

Together, we are packing more than backpacks—we are packing hope, dignity, and support. 💜

Thank you for helping us make a difference in Edgar County!
