Save the date! We are going in a different direction this year for our Remembrance Walk. We will have food (most likely food trucks) this year…stay tuned...and we are meeting on a Saturday so more people can make it. We will walk on the C**n Valley walking trail around the creek…and it will be just beautiful.
There will be more time for meaningful connection, and we ask that everyone bring their lost loved one’s favorite dessert to share after the Walk.
This year there will be more time to talk to each other, more time to share and more time to connect with one another as we remember them. ❤️❤️❤️

We remember and honor all those who lost their lives while serving. Amara’s great-great uncle Selmer Lee lost his life by stepping on a land mine in the Battle of Chateau Thierry in France in 1918, during WWI. He was a young man from C**n Valley who had a promising and fulfilling life ahead of him.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day, and never forget why we observe it.

Mama Heidi found this on Amazon and ordered it right away. It hit a soft spot in her heart because she imagined Mari passing away on that apartment floor and waking up in the arms of Jesus. Just imagine!!!
He wiped every tear from her eyes. For her, there was no more crying or pain or feelings of hopelessness and shame.
To know she is free is such a wonderful, beautiful feeling!
(If you’d like to order this print, message us, and we’ll get you the link to the listing.)

"Narcan isn’t just for addicts.
​It’s for the toddler who found a pill at the park.
It’s for the friend whose drink was spiked.
It’s for the teen who made one bad choice.
It’s for the grandparent who forgot they already took their meds.
​Accidents don't discriminate, and neither should we.
​Like insulin, Narcan saves lives.
Both should be accessible to everyone.
Stop the debate.
Just save the life.”

We will be providing Narcan training today at 5:30 at the Viroqua Library. We’ll also be giving a short presentation, and Vernon County Sheriff’s Dpt.’s Detective Scott Bjerkos (one of our board directors) will also be speaking. We hope you can come!

Are you prepared if you come across someone experiencing an opioid overdose?

Unfortunately, opioid overdoses are still prevalent in our community, and we believe in getting Narcan into as many hands as possible.

Join the Amara Rose Foundation in a Narcan distribution and training event. Veronica “Peach” Hoiland is a board director and state-certified trainer who will educate you on recognizing the signs of an opioid overdose and how to administer Narcan while you wait for the EMS to arrive.

Using Narcan is very simple. Join us to learn the ins and outs of Narcan and its use. Save a life.

On May 25th, Amara, Jake Nelson (mom Penny Nelson) and Karl Tully (parents Julie Tully and Mike Tully) will be displayed with others on a billboard in downtown Green Bay. Leona's Legacy of Love puts up billboards all across the nation, raising awareness and getting this all-important message out. We want to thank them for doing their part in helping to save lives.

We’ve had a couple Narcan inquiries so we think it’s time to offer our free Narcan through the mail again. If you’d like Narcan to carry, have on hand in your home or business or to give to family and friends so they can be prepared in case of an emergency, message us with the amount needed and your address.
We have drink stickers, too!
