HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The public is invited to participate in a CARE-A-Van to visit nine Hutchinson and South Hutchinson long term care facilities Friday.

"We were trying to think of a fun and safe way we could let the residents and staff know we are thinking of them," said Andrea Siefkes with Hospice and Homecare of Reno County. "Especially with the increase in cases and the limitation of visits that the residents get to have."

The caravan will depart the Trade Center parking lot at 1600 North Lorraine Street at 9:30 a.m.

"We're having three vans from the hospital and we're having one EMS vehicle," Siefkes said. "The fire department from South Hutch and Hutch are participating."

Participants are encouraged to add to the CARE-A-Van and decorate their cars with signs and balloons and wear costumes if they desire. There will be nine stops along the route, eight in Hutchinson and one in South Hutchinson.
