Mobilize Recovery Bus Tour
As part of our effort to combat the opioid epidemic, Serve You Rx is a proud sponsor and participant in the Mobilize Recovery 2022 National Bus Tour. Along the way, Serve You Rx donated 100 Overdose Aid Kits (OAKs) to communities hit hardest by the opioid epidemic. Here’s a brief look at 4 of the 27 locations along the country-wide tour that provided education about addiction recovery, and centered the voices of those impacted most by the addiction and overdose crisis.
