The campaign was created to address disparities in substance use disorders (SUD), including overdose deaths, in low-income communities of color in the county.

The event is aimed to share messages, information, and support with underserved residents. It will include:

• A chance to hear from and speak with certified recovery specialists
• Free Narcan kits and training
• Connections to affordable medical care via local health clinics
• Self-care gifts and other giveaways

The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 29 at Greater Valley Community Services, located at 300 Holland Ave. in Braddock.
