Recovery Month Purple Flag-Raising and Press Conference – FREE
The Town of Huntington, Councilman Salvatore Ferro, and the Town’s Opioid & Addiction Task Force will kick off the annual Huntington Goes Purple initiative to raise awareness of the drug addiction crisis on Long Island and across the United States.
September is National Recovery Month.Purple flags will be installed on the front lawn of Town Hall, on Main Street, from Clinton Avenue/Green Street to Anderson Place, and on Larkfield Road between Webster Place and 9th Avenue. The annual flag-raising and kick-off press event will be held at Huntington Town Hall, the start of multiple events to take place during National Recovery Month.
This National event honors the more than 1 million Americans who have died as a result of accidental overdoses of drugs and alcohol, many as a result of untreated mental illness. It is of critical importance that we always remember those who were lost to this epidemic. This initiative allows us to preserve the memories of those we lost to addiction and pay tribute to the amazing social workers, mental health care professionals, and nonprofit volunteers who work tirelessly to support individuals in recovery.
