HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A group of community organizations in Hutchinson come together to put up American flags on the appropriate holidays as a fundraiser each year.
"We provide flags for residents and businesses on six of the flag holidays per year," said Bob Ross with the Kiwanis Club. "It's a service we do to raise funds. It's also raising the spirit of the community by putting flags up in front of their house or their business."
The next day they will be put up is Memorial Day. They put up flags around sunrise and take them down before sunset.
"Flags are placed on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veteran's Day," Ross said.
To be put on the list to put a flag in your yard costs $36 a year.
"The money goes to the clubs that are involved for the routes that they perform," Ross said. "The funds go back to the community. The club puts it in our treasury and we support a lot of initiatives with youth."
If you'd like to be added to the list, call Ross at (620) 727-5141.
