The Shasta County Out of the Darkness Community Walk is held today at Carter House Lawn in Caldwell Park—registration starts at 2 p.m. and the walk begins at 3 p.m. Christopher Diamond, a volunteer with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said the event raises awareness on suicide prevention and seeks more volunteers to expand support programs in the Northstate.

Volunteers are welcome to join the effort.
