How to get free chick-fil-a

TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Wichita!

Between the 1st of August and the 31st, Wichita will lose 63 minutes of daylight.

More importantly, only 4 weeks away from the first Chiefs game of the season.

Let's get to it!

p.s. Happy belated birthday to Melissa!

Simply Hygiene

Simply Hygiene (formerly Giving the Basics) is a local organization based on the idea that every person should have access to basic hygiene items.

You can help them make Wichita a better place in multiple ways:

  1. TONIGHT - At the Wind Surge game tonight, bring deodorant, toothbrushes, or tooth paste and early a Free Chick-Fil-A coupon for a free sandwich / entree for each full size item donated

  2. You could win Chick-Fil-A for a year when you donate at one of the east side Chick-Fil-A locations

  3. Come out tomorrow and donate at the Wichita Farrmer’s Market at 7001 W 21st St
