In recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31st, SOAR Natick and The Journey present a purple flag display in Natick Center. Volunteers will place purple flags on the lawn of the First Congregational Church of Natick on August 24.
The purple flags represent the number of Massachusetts residents who lost their life the prior year from an overdose. The Red flags represent lives lost in any year to substance use and can be personalized.
On September 8th, the flags will move on to Newton-Wellesley Hospital and then Brigham & Women’s Hospital through the month of September.
