Last night, our community came together to remember lives lost to overdose, support those carrying grief, and share hope for prevention and recovery. 💜

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their experiences, or stood beside a neighbor. A special thank-you to those who chose to speak or be photographed - thank you for trusting us with your stories and helping us carry this message beyond the vigil.

Every life remembered matters. Every story shared matters. At Advance, we are grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another. Let’s keep making space for connection, compassion, and conversations that can save lives. 💙💚

💜 We’re at Omak Civic Park now and invite you to join Advance for our Overdose Awareness & Prevention Vigil until 8 PM tonight.

Come light a candle, honor those we’ve lost, and stand alongside those carrying grief or walking a path toward recovery. Stop by for a purple ribbon bracelet, resources, and connection.

Every life matters. Every person deserves support. Everyone is welcome. 🕯️💜

This past week Cory Craig was recognized as a community leader at the Thriving Communities: Seven Vital Conditions for Well-Being & Innovative Care Event! 💚 💙

Cory’s impact lives in moments that don’t always make it into a photo: showing up for someone in a difficult moment, helping them find a path forward, and making sure they know they don’t have to take the next step alone. His compassion and deep commitment make our community stronger.

Thank you to Family Health Centers of North Central Washington for hosting this celebration in honor of National Health Centers Week. Congratulations, Cory! 👏

A little behind-the-scenes preparation, with a lot of heart. 💜 Our crew has been creating signs and getting ready for Advance’s Overdose Awareness & Prevention Vigil - and we’d love for our community to join us.

📅 September 30 | 6–8 PM
📍 Omak Civic Park

Together, we’ll remember those we’ve lost, support those impacted by overdose, and help break the stigma that keeps people from reaching out.

Whether you’re honoring someone, supporting a loved one, or simply showing up for your neighbors, you belong here.

Thank you to the Okanogan County Drug Court Participants and community members helping put this evening together. Bring someone with you and help us spread the word. 💜
