BEAVERTON, Ore. – When the volunteers arrived, the space in front of the build was barren, except for some tools, a table of drinks, and snacks. The concrete path to the back of the building had broken up by a jackhammer, producing what appeared to be around 200 new rocks, set to stacked into a wall. They’d build it behind the HELP office, around what would become part of a memorial garden. From street side and along the fence, to the property line at the back, it will become a space to remember Harley Rocher.
Rocher was an examples of what the Beaverton School District’s Homeless Education Liaison Program (HELP) could do.
