Families, community leaders, civic organizations and town and county officials came together to pay tribute to the lives lost to overdose by lighting the Bayport Blue Point Library tree purple Thursday. The gathering marked International Overdose Awareness Day, while offering Narcan/Harm Reduction Training; “Shed the Meds;” along with mental health resources.
On Wednesday, September 6th, the Town of Islip will kick-off Islip Goes Purple, a month-long event designed to bring awareness to recovery from addiction and life beyond.
