HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Police and Sheriff's officers in Hutchinson and Reno County are accepting donations Friday morning to help out Special Olympics.

"It's just us wanting to build relationships, period," said Andrew Soule with the Reno County Sheriff's Office. "We always look to those vulnerable populations. Those are the ones we always want to reach out to and build those relationships with. These are always great opportunities for us to get out and be seen and not only talk to athletes and those involved in the Special Olympics movement, but to talk to anyone in the city of Hutchinson, in Reno County and anyone else that may be traveling through."

The fundraiser is at Dunkin Donuts at 1533 East 17th from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

"This one isn't a give back event," Soule said. "This one is strictly donation based. If you have some leftover change after getting your morning coffee or morning breakfast, we would greatly appreciate it."

Dunkin has done this fundraiser for several years, but this is the first time for the Hutchinson location.
