It’s been a little over a week since Hotdogs & Haircuts and we are still in awe of the support that has been poured into our community making this year’s event another wonderful success.
We had 7 remarkable stylists from Indian Lake, Bellefontaine and even Findlay share their skills with 79 students who received haircuts. The stylists showed compassion to each person in their chair and gave those students the confidence they needed to walk back into school feeling their best.
Thank you to Haylee McCafferty - Salon Platinum 121, Heather Henry - Salon Platinum 121, Tawney Large - Salon Platinum 121, Darla Myers - Darla’s Color & Cuts, Sierra Green - Roots, Kerrigan Kwiat, and Scarlet - Bangs! Show these amazing women your support this year and schedule some time in their chairs at their salons.
In the youth center, the supplies were stocked and ready to go thanks to community members, church members and local sponsors. The line outside of the building lasted over an hour after opening the doors! We served over 200 from Indian Lake, Bellefontaine, Lima, Springfield and more! Whatever the situation, we welcome anyone in need, not just those from Indian Lake.
This event could not have been possible without the help of our volunteers. They made the day run smooth and efficiently.
While we don’t want to rush time, we do want to set a loose date for next summer. Hotdogs & Haircuts is always the Sunday before Indian Lake begins school. Once the school calendar is set we will post next year’s date.
Once again, thank you to everyone who made this event possible.
