Love in the Time of Fentanyl

Special Presentation by the local non profit group The Nameless 

Love In the Time of Fentanyl - One Show Only - March 29 at 7pm
Q & A with Ronnie Grigg, Harm Reduction Worker

The fundraiser is for a local charity who supports people who use drugs in a small community who has been hit hard by loss, grief, and limited supports. Despite this, people still access, work is completed, gaps get filled, and lives improve. Proceeds will go to the charity to allow them to continue to do the work they do. By supporting the fundraiser, you are making a difference not only to the people who access The Nameless, but frontline workers as well. Tickets $30
