-- A community Candlelight Vigil will be held in Idaho Falls on Sunday, August 31, at 7:30 p.m. in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day.

The vigil will take place at the Greenbelt Stage Pavilion, located near Memorial between D and E Streets. The event is free and open to the public.

Organized and facilitated by Brick House Recovery in collaboration with Center for Hope and Eastern Idaho Public Health, the gathering will honor the lives lost to overdose, support families affected, and raise awareness about prevention and recovery resources in eastern Idaho.

“Overdose continues to affect families across our state and our nation,” said Jason Coombs, an overdose survivor and founder of Brick House Recovery. “This vigil is an opportunity for the community to come together, honor those we’ve lost to this disease, and strengthen our commitment to extend our hands a little further to help those in our community suffering with substance use disorder.”

Candles will be provided at the event, and attendees are encouraged to invite family, friends, and neighbors to participate.
