On Friday, June 12th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, we will be hosting the annual Marquette County Community Resource Fair at Lakeview Arena in Marquette, Michigan. This event is designed to connect residents with local resources that improve their everyday lives, including access to healthcare, nutrition, transportation, housing, childcare, education, employment, and more.

One of the major highlights of this event is the free haircuts we offer to attendees. We are seeking volunteer hair stylists to donate one to three hours of their time to help us make this part of the event a success. Your time and expertise will make a meaningful impact on those who may not otherwise have access to a professional haircut.
Salons that volunteer for the full 3 hours will get sponsorship recognition on our social media and event signage!

If you are interested, please message us directly!
