Participate in a Wellness Walk and Recovery Fair: As part of this heartfelt initiative, the Town of Huntington is excited to sponsor several events throughout September that are designed to bring the community together and promote the message of hope and healing. A highlight of these events is the Wellness Walk and Recovery Fair, scheduled for Saturday, September 9th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the picturesque Heckscher Park.
This event promises a delightful day of food, live music, and information booths operated by non-profit organizations and addiction treatment centers from across Long Island. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with resources, share stories, and celebrate the strength and resilience of those on the path to recovery.
