HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Waldron Place has decided to thank first responders for all the work they do in the community. Starting Friday, May 3, Waldron Place will provide lunch for all police officers, firefighters and first responders at 1700 E. 23rd.

Whitney Hamby with Waldron Place says it’s a nice way to give a little something back. “We just want to make sure that we recognize all the first responders in our community. We realize what a task it is that they do every day,” Hamby said. “We just really want to thank them for everything they do. I don’t think they get as much credit as they should.”

The lunches will be offered the first Friday of the month for six months. If the response is good, Hamby says they’ll keep doing it.
