A Message From Hope Alive Recovery
On Friday, September 12th at 10:00 AM on the front steps of the Washington Parish Courthouse, we will gather to remember the lives lost to drug poisoning in Washington Parish. We invite you to stand with us as our community comes together for healing and hope.
Each empty chair will represent a life lost in Washington Parish this year. The display will remain at the courthouse for one week as a reminder of those we have lost. These chairs speak of the empty places left at family tables and gatherings across our community. We encourage you to visit the display with your family and friends, so that together we can better understand the risks of drug use and the importance of prevention.
Families and friends are also welcome to bring a personalized chair or photo to display at the ceremony in memory of a loved one lost to overdose at any time in the past. You may bring your own chair and personal items such as photos, clothing, or mementos to represent their life and memory. Please contact Mandi Boyd at 985 335 0713 to arrange setup.
Fentanyl continues to be the number one offender in these tragic deaths. The Empty Chair Project is a reminder of the impact of addiction and a call for hope, healing, and recovery. If you are struggling with an addiction, you can recover. Please join us at Hope Alive meetings every Sunday night at 7pm.
Hope Alive is a Christ centered recovery group that meets on Sunday nights at 7pm at Mt Hermon UPC with food & fellowship at 6:15. Meetings are free of charge; Dress is casual. We are court approved 12 step meetings for Washington Parish.
