September is Recovery Month 💜 This month, we celebrate the more than 378,000 South Carolinians living full lives in recovery and recognize the strength, hope, and possibility that recovery brings.

Recovery is possible. Recovery is real. And every person’s journey matters.

Join us this September as we celebrate recovery, reduce stigma, and build stronger, healthier communities together. 💜

Tonight 💜

Remembering. Honoring. Raising Awareness.

In recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day, Lexington County will hold its 5th Annual Remembrance Event to honor those we have lost to overdose and support the families and loved ones who carry their memories forward.

🗓️Monday, August 31
⏰6:30–8:00 PM
📍First Baptist Church of Lexington Student Center

Families who would like to have their loved one remembered during the event can submit their name, age, and photo. Please see the flyer for submission details.

Judge Bruce Williams, a member of the SCORF Board, will also be in attendance to recognize the important work being done throughout Lexington County. On International Overdose Awareness Day, we come together to remember without stigma, support without judgment, and raise awareness to help prevent future loss. 💜

We hope you’ll join us as we remember the lives behind the numbers and stand together as a community.

Today on International Overdose Awareness Day, we stand together across the globe declaring time for change. We are showing up, speaking up, and saying loudly - let’s end overdose! 💜

Our Courage Collective family needs a few extra helping hands! Looking for a way to give back? We have opportunities for you!

If hands on help is not possible for you right now, sharing this post is a great way to help, too! Help us spread the word 💚

The Courage Collective needs YOU! 💚

We’ve got a few extra projects on our to-do list, and we could use some helping hands!

We are looking for volunteers who are handy with a paintbrush , willing to help freshen up our carpet, love organizing and sorting inventory 📦, or just want to lend a helping hand!

Looking for a way to give back individually, with a church group, friend group, or for school/service hours? We’d love to have you join our Collective!

Every hour volunteered helps support The Courage Center and recovery in our community.

Know someone who would be a great fit? SHARE this post! You never know who might be looking for a way to give back, complete service hours, or simply spend a little time doing something that matters.

Interested? Send us a message, call 803-369-3905 or email us at [email protected]!
Give a little time. Make a big impact. 💚
