Good Morning Delmarva Discusses Wicomico Goes Purple!

47ABC – If you’ve been in downtown Salisbury lately, you may have noticed it’s a little purple!

Including our own station!

That’s because we’re supporting Wicomico Goes Purple, a campaign dedicated to spreading awareness of substance misuse and disorders, for National Recovery Month.

Wicomico Goes Purple is also celebrating its 5th year with a series of community events.
