The Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is gearing up for their 107th graduation on October 29th at 5:15 p.m. in the Community Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

A Douglas County Circuit Court release said current graduate phase participants are working on their community projects to fulfill a requirement to graduate. Projects vary based on ideas each participant presents to a pitch panel that includes the Honorable Judge Robert Johnson. Projects need to help the community and tie back into the participants personal recovery.

There are seven projects that are taking place and need support from the public. To find out more about them and get in-depth information regarding the H.O.P.E. Drug Court, go to: https://www.douglascountyor.gov/851/HOPE-Drug-Court
