Mitchell’s Hope will host its 11th Annual International Overdose Day event this weekend with a theme of “Lived & Loved”.

The non-profit will be honoring all lost to the nation's drug epidemic - however they were impacted and no matter the reason.

People are encouraged to join in the event at Michigan's Drug Epidemic Memorial at 9585 Roberts Road in Gregory from 3 to 5pm. This marks the 3rd annual event for the Memorial.

Bricks can be purchased for loved ones or people can paint a rock with their name or a message.

Organizers say this year the focus will be on how everyone’s loved ones lived – “sharing stories of their beautiful lives and sharing how they loved and how we love them”.
