A Red Ribbon Weaving was created at Brownhelm UCC in Vermilion during the Easter season. There are almost 50 red ribbons. Each ribbon has a name on it of:
- Someone arrested
- Served time and completed drug rehab
- Released
- Died of an opioid overdose
On this weaving most are women from Lorain County. Most died in 2018. It represents humans created and loved by God whose lives were cut short because of a drug overdose. A just world for all includes support and love for neighbors trying to regain control of their lives.
