RENO COUNTY, Kan. — Several Reno County churches are coming together at a Convoy of Hope Wichita community event on July 29 at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.
The event will take place at 9 a.m. to bring help and hope to families in need. Working together, they will offer free services to each and every guest.
The churches will be handing out free groceries, backpacks with school supplies, and more.
Additionally, they are creating 600 welcome bags. Businesses and organizations are invited for this opportunity to connect with over 600 family by placing a flyer, coupons, company pens, or other trinkets to promote their business.
Businesses and organizations wanting to contribute to the welcome bags can contact Steve Bowman at (620) 728-9064 to arrange to have anything picked up.
