International Overdose Awareness Day | August 31, 2026

The Screven County Chamber of Commerce is proud to support our Chamber member, the Screven County Community Collaborative, as they recognize International Overdose Awareness Day on Monday, August 31.

Every life lost to an overdose represents someone’s child, parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or neighbor. This important day gives our community an opportunity to remember those we have lost, support those in recovery, and show compassion to the families whose lives have been impacted by substance use disorder.

💜 We encourage our Chamber members, local businesses, schools, churches, organizations, and community members to join us in wearing purple and helping us Paint Screven County Purple!

Through education, prevention, recovery support, and open conversations, we can help reduce stigma, connect individuals and families with resources, and work together to prevent overdose deaths.

We are grateful for the work of the Screven County Community Collaborative and their commitment to creating a healthier, more informed, and more compassionate Screven County.

Together, we remember.

Together, we educate.

Together, we support.

Together, we save lives. 💜
