Local anti-drug advocacy group Haverhill Against Heroin plans to mark Friday’s Overdose Awareness Day with an event at the city’s GAR Park from 5-7 p.m.
Group founder Christina Mazzone tells WHAV the group plans to create posters in support of loved ones and use the event as a way to band together and let others know they do not need to suffer in silence.
“I hope people get a little peace and hope from our event. We want to let them know they are not alone,” Mazzone said.
Haverhill Against Heroin can be reached through their Facebook page or by calling 978-427-1115.
