Danvers Goes Purple In Community Healing Event

DANVERS, MA — Danvers residents will once again Light the Night Purple to celebrate recovery, promote health and healing, challenge stigma and raise awareness about substance-use prevention and treatment.

All are welcome to the free event with complimentary purple LTNP T-shirts available while supplies last.

Attendees are asked to gather at 6:30 p.m. on May 7 at the Rotary Pavilion for activities and games with a resource table available.

The solidarity walk begins at 7 p.m. The route comes back to the library gazebo by 7:30 p.m. with music, impactful speeches and the lighting of the purple lights at 8 p.m.

Groups that would like to host a resource table are invited to reach out to danverscares@danvers.org.
