Hair Cuttery August Share–A–Haircut Campaign #ShareAHaircut

August 2, 2016 By Anne

Disclosure: I have received promotional consideration from Hair Cutter

It’s back to school time again, which means Hair Cuttery is having their Share-A-Haircut Campaign.

For each haircut purchased, one will be donated to a child in need—just in time for the new school year.

Going back to school is a big deal to kids. They see their peers, friends and meet new teachers. Kids want a new look. A fresh look. They want to look their best. For most of us and our children, its no big deal to get a hair cut. But for some it is a big deal. Why not get your kids a hair cut at Hair Cuttery this year and give another child a chance at a new look!

This summer, Hair Cuttery is aiming to donate tens of thousands of free haircut certificates ahead of the new school year. Certificates will be distributed with the help of more than 100 local government and non-profit organizations in communities across the country.

Since 1999, the Share-A-Haircut program has donated more than 1.89 million free haircut certificates valued at nearly $30.35 million. 2016 marks the 17th year of Share-A-Haircut, with Hair Cuttery’s most recent campaign donating 55,000 haircuts to victims of domestic violence this past spring. The company has an established history of charitable giving and has supported a range of local and national causes, including St. Baldrick’s Foundation, American Red Cross, The National Network to End Domestic Violence, American Cancer Society and Girls on the Run.

Certificates will be distributed with the help of more than 100 local government and non-profit organizations in communities across the country. This summer, Hair Cuttery is aiming to donate tens of thousands of free haircut certificates ahead of the new school year.

“Shop With Your Heart” initiative from the ASPCA

August 1, 2016 By Anne

This is a guest post.

Aside from the people who are vegan, most everyone I know buys meat, eggs, or dairy at some point during the week/month/year. And those of you who do – have much more buying power than you probably even realize. By buying welfare-certified animal products, or more plant-based products, you send a strong message to food companies that you care about the treatment of farm animals.
Just an average size family spends hundreds of dollars a month on meat. Imagine if every
single consumer used that buying power to purchase welfare-certified meat instead of the meat from inhumane factory farms. What a difference that would make!

As you may already know, most of the nearly 9 billion animals raised for meat, milk and eggs in the US are suffering in inhumane factory farms. And animals are not the only affected, as factory farms impact human health—they can be breeding grounds for dangerous pathogens and the antibiotics used to prevent disease create the potential for dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria to develop.

To fully harness the power of our collective purchases and demand better lives for farm animals, the Shop With Your Heart initiative launched by the ASPCA gives consumers the resources to recognize, locate and demand meaningfully welfare-certified meat, eggs and dairy products as well as plant-based alternatives.

Will you take the pledge?
Everyone who signs the pledge also gains access to an exclusive Shop With Your Heart Grocery List, including welfare-certified and widely available plant-based brands.

Make Heart Hands for Farm Animals!
Pose with your hands in a heart shape and post a photo using the tag #shopwithyourheart and @ASPCA to let your friends know you believe in a more humane world for farm animals. Don’t forget to tell them where you shop to find more humane products—give the stores a shout-out by tagging them, too!
