Today the Evesham Municipal Alliance, Burlington County Coalition For Healthy Communities and Prevention Plus coordinated the placement of 650 Purple Flags in front of the RapRoom Parent To Parent on 1010 Tuckerton Road in remembrance of the more than 650 lives lost to overdoses in Burlington County from 2020-2025.
Each Flag represents a live no longer here. A family member missing at the table, at the reunions, at the holiday meals. A face we only see in pictures and in our memories. Seeing those flags was very sombering to all of us. The flags will remain for the month of August.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped place the flags, including members of the Municipal Alliance, RapRoom Parent To Parent, Evesham Township Police (NJ), Evesham Councilwoman Dr. Krystal Hunter, Councilman Joe Fisicaro, Jr., represenatives from Burlington County, The Tribe, Kings Crusade and all the representatives and volunteers from organizations in our region. We appreciate you.
If you have the opportunity to drive past the display of purple flags, we invite you to pause for a moment of reflection. May they serve as a tribute to those whose lives were lost, a reminder of the families forever impacted, and a call for everyone to continue working together to help our residents who are struggling with addiction.
