HUTCHINSON, Kan. — On Nov. 30, the Robert E. and Patricia Schmidt Foundation donated $50,000 to the new Reno Connections program at the Hutchinson Public Library. The funds will be used to create an awareness campaign to make this community resource available to residents of Reno County.
The check was presented by Nancy Swain, General Manager at EAGLE Media to Valerie Taylor, the new Community Care Coordinator and Denice Gilliland, Director of Community Impact for the United Way of Reno County.
"The Schmidt Foundation has once again found a way to help create a better community through opening doors instead of creating roadblocks," said Nancy Swain, General Manager at EAGLE Media Hutchinson. "At EAGLE Media, we are excited to help launch a year-long awareness campaign of this vital program that was created by the United Way of Reno County. Creating awareness is what we do, and funding through the Schmidt Foundation will allow us to help them do just that."
This grant will be used to make the community aware of the services offered by Reno Connections through various media including radio, billboards, digital and print. Reno Connections is a United Way of Reno County program, thanks to the Early Childhood Block Grant in partnership with the Hutchinson Public Library.
