Community Healthlink was honored to attend the City of Fitchburg’s Overdose Awareness Vigil last Thursday night. This important event invited the community to join together to remember lives lost to overdose, give hope to those struggling and provide support for each other. The event included resource tables from local community partners, honorary luminary bags for loved ones lost, and community fellowship and words of remembrance and hope. Thank you to all those who attended and/or volunteered for this meaningful event!
