Wicomico will be Going Purple

Wicomico will be Going Purple in September, which is National Recovery Month. Wicomico Goes Purple, coordinated by a committee of the Wicomico County Opioid Intervention Team, strives to initiate conversations about the dangers of substance misuse and abuse and encourages our community to take a stand. The Wicomico Goes Purple campaign focuses on prevention, treatment, and recovery resources available throughout our community and emphasizes the important role that law enforcement plays in combating this epidemic.

Wicomico Goes Purple has a goal of promoting conversations about substance misuse which includes prescription medications. You and your community can get involved by decorating your homes, storefronts and businesses. For participation ideas, resources and additional information, please visit Facebook@WicomicoGoesPurple or websitewicomicogoespurple.com

The Wicomico Goes Purple campaign will kick off at the Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury on Friday, September 4, 2020 at 7:00 pm. A Delmarva Shorebirds movie night event will follow with a family friendly movie. Please bring a non-perishable food item to support the Wicomico Goes Purple food drive or drop off to one of the below locations.

With everything going on, we're go to to invest time and money in this bullshit. Get clean or die. Simple as that. And all these addict sympathizers, and virtue signalers will not make a difference.

What a bunch of idiots. They can't pay for what they have now. So let's have another do nothing, help no one get together. Between BLM, Gay, transgender, and thug programs. It's nice to see they know how to waste more money.

I remember Hillary wearing purple for her post-election "I didn't lose" speech. It wasn't about recovering from substance abuse.

Heroin is so 5 years ago. If you haven’t beaten it by now, there is zero hope for you. I for one am sick of hearing about it. Nothing but people with no self discipline seeking handouts.

Most opioid related deaths aren't from heroin, moron. It's middle aged and senior citizens that get hooked on oxygen and other painkillers from corrupt doctors that take a cut from each prescription they write.

Preventing opioid abuse isn't as much about homeless junkies as it is working class people getting prescribed highly addicted drugs they didn't need in the first place.
