LIMA, Ohio – The town square in downtown Lima was filled with hope and support for the third annual Overdose Awareness event.
The event brought together nearly 40 agencies that provided free resources, such as personal care items and information on local services. Organizers say the goal is to connect people with resources, whether they are dealing with substance abuse, homelessness, or other issues.
“I want them to take away the resources that are available, and to understand that no one is alone in this fight and struggle,” said Jessica Maag, Lima/Van Wert Supervisor for Prevention Awareness Support Services. “Our economy is currently dealing with a great deal of uncertainty. Homelessness, as well as substance abuse, are major issues right now. You know, relapse is a part of recovery, and we’d like to provide information and assistance to those in need.”
If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available. For additional resources, please visit wecarepeople.org.
