Hi Joey,
I am writing once again looking for help to spread the word. The Gloucester Luminaries & Love display (13th Annual Gloucester Overdose vigil) is Monday August 28th from 6:30-8:30pm. This event is truly a labor of LOVE in helping us remember those we have lost to substance use & supporting the community members they left behind.
In the last three years we have included a canned food drive to help weigh down the bags for display & then we donate to the Open Door. In 2022 we collected 1100 lbs of food. Collection boxes are at Cape Ann Lanes & Cape Ann YMCA. There is also an AMAZON link
https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/11WERXHE53IN4. Having canned goods prior to the event helps us to get a head start setting up the display.
As you know it’s a peaceful night. Our goal is to just “hold space” for people to come & be with others who know and understand. Feel free to bring a chair & linger.
Thank you for consider posting. Let me know if I can answer any questions! Fliers attached photo credit of luminaries goes to Isaac J Aiello photography.
Thank you.
Good Morning Gloucester
