From August 18 through Labor Day, KidSnips is donating $1 from each haircut to support CARE's work to help women, children and families change their lives for the better. And when you donate $1 or more during your visit to KidSnips, your child can make a handprint and send a picture or message of encouragement to a child living in Afghanistan. Handprints will be displayed in the store and then
delivered to a school in Afghanistan as a sign of our solidarity.
