Community Impact

The First Day In Back-to-School Giveaway is more than just an event—it’s a lifeline for hundreds of local youth and families preparing for the school year. By providing free haircuts, braids, backpacks, school supplies, and meals, we help ensure every child starts the year with confidence, dignity, and the tools they need to succeed.

This event would not be possible without the incredible support of our volunteers, barbers, stylists, vendors, and community partners that continue to show up and show out. Your time, talents, and resources directly impact the lives of children who need it most. Whether you're helping a child pick their first backpack or giving a fresh cut that boosts self-esteem, you are planting seeds of hope and empowerment.

We deeply appreciate every individual and business who shows up for our youth. Together, we are building a stronger, more united community—one backpack, one braid, one smile at a time.
