Empty Shoes to End Overdose
As part of International Overdose Awareness Day attendees care invited to bring a photo pf a loved one lost to overdose and a pair of shoes to symbolize their absence in the world. The names will be read aloud at the ceremony and a bell will be rung in their honor. Shoes may be collected by participants after the event or left behind and donated to people seeking recovery from a substance use disorder.
International Overdose Awareness Day is recognized around the world as a day to acknowledge individual loss and family grief for people who have suffered an overdose.
For questions, call us at 775-324-7557 or email outreach@jtnn.org.
