Saturday marks International Overdose Awareness Day, and the Hope Movement Coalition, alongside the CWC Alliance, is urging Arkansans to honor those who have fallen victim to drug overdoses and fentanyl poisoning. The 5th Annual Bridge the Gap event will take place at Riverfront Park in North Little Rock, beginning at 5 PM. The event will feature guest speakers, food trucks, and community vendors, culminating in a memorial service at sundown. Last year’s event saw participation from 11 states. In 2023, 510 families in Arkansas experienced the tragic loss of a loved one due to an overdose.
