Raleigh Healing Together 2023 Events

As we approach the one-year anniversary of this tragedy on Oct. 13, 2023, the City is organizing two events to continue our Raleigh Healing Together efforts.

Community Vigil: ‘Raleigh Healing Together’ 

On Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022 at 3 p.m., the city came together to reflect, remember and honor the lives of those we lost in the Hedingham mass shooting. Prayers were offered for the support and healing of friends, family, and community. The event was hosted in partnership with the NAACP and Moms Demand Action. It was led by a diverse group of community faith leaders.

Donate Blood

Find a donation site or drive near you at the Blood Connection or Red Cross.
Blood donations are always needed, especially in the aftermath of a tragic event.
The blood supply remains stable at North Carolina hospitals, but agencies must maintain a steady flow of donations because blood and platelets can’t be frozen or stockpiled and demand seldom lets up.

Reach Out

Community members are asking how they can help our grieving neighbors.
