LA GRANDE – Yesterday afternoon (Thursday, September 9, 2021) several participants gathered at the corner of Island and Adams Avenue showing hope and encouragement. This was a state-wide event with the Oregon Alliance to Prevent Suicide called A Day of Hope and many communities were encouraged to choose a street corner to display signs and wave at passing drivers showing their support. Local individuals and organizations involved included but was not limited to the Center for Human Development (CHD) the School District, Union County DA Kelsie McDaniel and staff with Elkhorn Media Group.
