Remember Our Loved Ones
A Memorial Poster Project to Remember Loved Ones Lost to Opioids or Alcohol.
Sunday, October 6, 10 - 2 PM
Unity Park, Winona, MN
Please join us in remembering ALL people who have been lost to opioids or alcohol, people of every race, culture, or class. We want to break the stigma and share that the loved ones we have lost are real people.
This memorial is a place to share our stories and to connect with each other. By coming together we will send the message that this is a real health crisis that demands action.
