BIDDEFORD — An important issue affecting area residents will be discussed during an upcoming community workshop later this month in Biddeford.
Each day across America, 18 to 22 veterans nationwide die by suicide. That is almost a life an hour.
The York County Veteran Suicide Prevention Task Force is presenting its first community workshop from 6 to 9 p.m. June 27 at the Seeds of Hope Neighborhood Center on South Street in Biddeford.
There is no charge and the public is welcome to participate.
The task force is a sub-committee of the York County Military and Community Network.
