Trop Rockers
The goal of the Parrot Heads of Central Kansas organization is to leave our piece of Kansas a little better than when we found it. We are looking for people who want to have a lot of fun while giving back to our community and make some new friends while doing it!
We accomplish this goal by volunteering for a variety of local community events and fundraisers.. Here is a list of the few things we participated this past year:
- Make-A-Wish
- Arkansas River Trash Round-up
- Blankets for St. Joseph Forensic Nursing Unit
- Botanica events
- Crawl for Cancer
- Passageways
- Gleanings Food Pantry
- Frog Diner
- Human Kind Ministries
- Kansas Honor Flight
- Operation Holiday
- Ronald McDonald House
- Salvation Army
- Wichita's Littlest Heroes
- Zoo events
