Each year the Club conducts a survey during September Phlockings to determine which local 501(c)(3) charity organizations to support the following year.  Members who cannot attend a September Phlocking are asked to complete and email the below survey to Marsha Herring at mherr424@comcast.net no later than Sep 29.  Using survey feedback, the committee develops a “Giving Plan” recommendation which is presented to the Executive Committee. The Giving Plan includes direct cash donations, member fundraising events and food and clothing drives!

​​​​

2025 The Villages Parrot Heads Club donated $1,014,769 cash, in kind and time to local charities.  Donations come from volunteer hours worked; blood and clothing drives; donated food, school supplies, toys, and household goods; and lots of cash which comes from our sale of 50/50 tickets, annual events and fundraisers.
