Proud of all of you and the work you do!

Our Project Suitcase team recently packed over 60 bags of supplies to distribute to the Hays Police Department and KS DCF.

Project Suitcase provides these bags to the approximately 150-175 children who require emergency removal from their home each year. The bags are filled with a blanket, stuffed animal, pajamas and underwear, toiletries, toys, and a McDonald's gift card. HPD and DCF provide these bags the moment the child is removed from their home for at least a little bit of comfort in a difficult time.

Project Suitcase is sponsored by the Schmidt Foundation and other caring donors.

Fun to join this 4th of July festive crew at the Eagle Media Center in Hutchinson. Not sure if the glasses or hat fit me best?

This free dental clinic is going to make such a HUGE impact for our community and our region. From the number of patients served with free dental care, to the number of patrons it puts in our community that weekend, it’s incredible.

Please consider volunteering or sharing with loved ones who could benefit from this free service.
