WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – First responders in the Wichita community gathered Saturday afternoon (Aug. 10) for a cookout meant to show appreciation for their work in the community.

The Midian Shrine Center and Kansas Masonic Foundation organized the luncheon offering free hamburgers, hotdogs and soda. It’s an event they hope to build from.

“I love Wichita. This is my home. This is where I am from. And the majority of my brothers are here too. They moved here. We all reside here. We care about our community. We want to see our community flourish. And showing support to our first responders is the first thing you need to do to ensure their safety, security, and comfort,” said Korleone Young, a member of Sunflower Lodge No. 86.
