The Mission Overdose Community Action Team (MOCAT) hosted the event, called Growing Stronger Together
After enjoying some free food, guests were invited to create some floral-themed art work – one of the day’s themes was Flower Power, Growing Stronger Together - share stories and even partake in Naloxone training.
The event is part of an effort to bring more attention to the ongoing overdose crisis.
