An administration representative told the finance committee Sept. 16 that a family asked well-wishers to donate to the Northampton County Suicide Prevention Task Force in lieu of flowers after a recent suicide loss.
The administration said the task force would use donations to support its prevention work and that the county and committee members were sorry for the family’s loss. Council members asked whether the family wished to have the decedent’s name disclosed so the county could acknowledge the gift publicly; staff said they would confirm with the family and report back.
The committee did not take formal action on the request; staff encouraged council members with specific questions to contact administration directly ahead of the next meeting.
