In 2022, approximately 156 Stark County residents were among the 4,984-plus Ohioans who lost their lives to overdose.
That’s why the Stark Overdose Awareness Committee will bring people from all backgrounds together to unite under a common cause: Calling attention to the ongoing overdose crisis and remembering those affected without shame or stigma.
The committee will host an Overdose Awareness Day event on Saturday, August 12 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Centennial Plaza in downtown Canton.
