Overdose Awareness Day Set for Today

Individuals in Frankfort, Indiana and around the world are coming together on August 31st to participate in International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).

IOAD is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember those who have died and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.

Every year we are losing loved ones from drug overdose, with devastating impact to their families and friends.

Frankfort is not immune. You may not have seen it, but it has happened to people around you. Tomorrow, it could happen to someone you love. This is not an invisible issue.

Come join us Wednesday, August 31st at Prairie Creek Park from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There will be guest speakers, peer to peer recovery support, Narcan training, treatment resources, wall of remembrance, live music provided by Malachi Jaggers and Large Sound DJ, as well as food available for purchase from Pork N Pistons, El Mata Antojos and ice cream provided by Rossville Lions Club.
