HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After a great joint fundraising event last weekend, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Reno County are teaming up on a much larger program they hope will help area youth.

In addition to a targeted partnership to better serve kids, the two organizations will share office space as well. By the end of 2018, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson and Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters Serving Reno County will share an office at 111 N. Walnut, where the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson administrative office currently resides.
