HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The United Way of Reno County announced on Monday that they will be moving their office space in Hutchinson. The office is currently at 924 North Main.
"We have been blessed with several grants that have allowed us to expand our capacity here at United Way by adding some staff through those grants," Executive Director Lisa Gleason said. "We have just outgrown our space. The Chamber had some space that they had available to offer to us to rent out. It just really has worked out for us. It's going to be able to save us some money. We are going to expand our space and we are excited to be next to an organization that we partner with a lot, the Chamber, we partner with on so many things. We'll be right there with Boys and Girls Club as well, which makes a lot of sense. They're one of our funded partners. Big Brothers, Big Sisters is also in that same location."
United Way has eight staff, four full-time and four part-time. The Reno Connections person will remain at the Hutchinson Public Library, to better serve those who need those services.
"We have just hired that position," Gleason said. "Her name is Kelsey Davies, who comes to us with a lot of years with mental health practicing. We're excited that she has just started over at the Public Library. We believe that is exactly where she needs to be. We are again grateful for our partnership with the Public Library, that we are able to continue that program."
The United Way will move to its place in the Chamber building at 2nd and Walnut towards the end of August.
