To raise money for the Rotary Foundation we auctioned off a cheesecake made by Sandy White shield. $120 was raised! Thank you Scott Vandam.
Our speakers today were Bridget Marshall, Executive Director of Journey On, and Molly Miller, Loss Team Director. Their organization was previously Front Porch Coalition. They recently merged with Journey On which partners with the Rapid City Police Department to help the houseless needs in our community including teens and soon families and children that struggle to get to school. The Front Porch Coalition brought over services dealing with suicide. Partnered with the Pennington and Lawrence County Sheriffs they work with families of suicide on site and walk them through the process of dealing with the death. they also do suicide prevention, monthly support groups, survivor outreach and grief classes. They are available to these families 24 hrs/day. Their major fundraiser is the Suicide Awareness Walk held 9/23/23 9:00am at the chimney shelter at Canyon Lake Park.
