8th Annual Overdose Awareness Vigil
The Town of Scituate together with Scituate FACTS, South Shore Peer Recovery and Scituate Clergy invite community members to the 8th Annual Overdose Awareness Vigil at Sunrise on August 31st. Each year, we gather at sunrise to mourn and to remember loved ones lost to overdoses, and to acknowledge first responders, treatment providers, community groups, and recovery advocates.
Please note the new location for 2023 will be on the sand at Peggotty Beach, due to construction at the lighthouse. Park in beach parking lot (off of Peggotty Beach Road).Access the beach via blue mobimat walkway (moderate incline).
We will have blankets arranged. You may also bring your own towel, blanket, or beach chair.
Free and Confidential Narcan available through South Shore Peer Recovery - and Grief support resources.
With thanks to Pastor Chris Longman of HUMC and Priest Natasha Stewart of St. Luke's for leading this service, which is open to all.
