Last year, 1,763 people died from overdose in Massachusetts.

​

Join us for International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31 to remember and honor loved ones we’ve lost to overdose.

​

Community Vigils

SAFE will host community vigils from 5–6 p.m. at two locations:

​

• Franklin Town Common (200 Main St.)

• Wrentham Town Common (1 Franklin St.).

​

We encourage attendees to bring photos of loved ones to place on a special memorial display table at the vigils.

 

Memorial Flag Displays

In addition to the vigils, SAFE will collaborate with community members to place memorial flags across the county:

​

• ​Franklin Town Common

• Wrentham Town Common

• Norfolk Town Hill lawn

• Medway Town Hall lawn

 

Those interested in helping can sign up using the form below.

​

Together we can reduce substance use disorder stigma, increase understanding and awareness, remember those who died of overdose, and prevent drug-related harm.
