International Overdose Awareness Day 2019

SpiritWorks participated in the 2019 International Overdose Awareness Day with sponsored events to remember those lost to overdose and help increase prevention and awareness in the community. Loved ones were invited to say the names of those they had lost to overdose and ring the church bells in their honor. Photos were placed of loved ones in the church for display during the Remembrance Service, which took place on August 30th at 6pm at Bruton Parish Church. Bucktrout Funeral Home provided butterflies which were released with great delight at the end of the service. The Williamsburg Police Department was also a community partner in the event. Chief Sean Dunn and a number of officers from the department attended the service. SpiritWorks also sponsored a film screening of Ben is Back, a film about addiction, starring academy award-winning actress Julia Roberts at the Kimball Theatre on Saturday August 31st.
