Share a Haircut
Hair Cuttery launches its Share a Haircut program Aug. 1. For 15 days, bring a child into any Hair Cuttery Salon, and for every haircut a child (18 or younger) receives, Hair Cuttery will donate a free haircut to a disadvantaged child in the community.
Hair Cuttery partners with local social service agencies to provide back-to-school haircuts to children in need.
Over the years, Hair Cuttery has donated more than 380,000 haircuts.
Provident Bank
Provident Bank employees in 141 branches worked with customers to raise more than $31,000 to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association to send 39 local children with muscle diseases to camp this summer.
The campaign was a new endeavor taken on by Provident Bank in an effort to increase its involvement with MDA and help send as many children as possible affected by neuromuscular disease to MDA summer camp.
Children with neuromuscular diseases enjoy a free week of MDA summer camp at Camp Maria in Leonardtown, Mass., and Wakefield, Va.
