We all know that the end of summer can be tough on our youngsters after a couple of months of fun but we hope this event makes that transition a little easier. We’re pleased to be able to offer haircuts and school supplies at no cost. Heading back to school can be very expensive for many families so we hope that this event can help to ease that burden for some.”
