💜 September is Caroline Goes Purple Month 💜

The Caroline County Commissioners have officially proclaimed September 2025 as Caroline Goes Purple Month, a community-wide initiative led by Drug-Free Caroline to raise awareness about substance use prevention and recovery.

Caroline Goes Purple brings us together through education, school “Purple Clubs,” community events, and outreach with local partners. Together, we can start new conversations, end the stigma, and support those struggling with addiction.
