A few resources!

Loneliness can be felt by anyone of any age, and the holiday season can be a particularly tough time. If you need support, help is just a phone call away.

The Senior Loneliness Line of Oregon is a free hotline that people ages 60+ can call when they want to talk to someone, for any reason. Your information is completely confidential, and no one will follow up with you unless you request a call.

The David Romprey Oregon Warmline or Oregon Youth Line, both available 24/7, can also offer confidential support for people experiencing loneliness.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, help is always available. 988 provides a 24/7 connection to confidential support. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

🚌✨ Great News for Northeast Oregon Travelers! ✨🚌

Community Connection is excited to share that Northwestern Stage Lines will begin providing transportation service along I-84 starting December 15, 2025, effectively picking up where FlixBus (Greyhound) left off after they ended service along this corridor.

This means renewed intercity connections between Portland and Boise, with Northeast Oregon back on the map for long-distance bus travel! 🙌

More transit options help our rural communities stay connected, whether for medical appointments, family visits, work, education, or regional travel. We’re thrilled to see another agency stepping in to provide this much-needed service. 💛🚍

We’re grateful for partners who help keep our region moving. This is a big win for transportation access in Eastern Oregon! 🌄🤝

The night before Thanksgiving is a time to reconnect. Friends are back in town, families reunite, and celebrations begin early. Just remember: if you’re heading out, plan a sober ride home.
A simple choice can protect you, your friends, and everyone on the road. Celebrate, laugh, make memories.....then get home safely to the people who are waiting for you.
