What does $150 buy?

It could buy a fancy dinner.
It could buy a concert ticket.
It could even buy a new drone.

Or...

❤️ It could completely change the way a local child starts the school year.

For $150, you can provide a child with the full New Beginnings experience, including:
👕 Brand-new clothing (5 full outfits!)
👟 New shoes
🎒 A backpack filled with school supplies
🧴 Full-size hygiene products tailored to their needs
💇 Haircut or hairstyle
👓 Vision, hearing, and wellness screenings
🍽️ A box of non-perishable food
🤝 Connection to year-round support through our nonprofit partners and The Caring Link

Your gift isn't just purchasing items—it's giving a child the confidence to walk into school feeling prepared, included, and ready to learn.

As another school year approaches, you can help remove barriers and create opportunities that last far beyond the first day of class.

💙 Be the Link. Scan the QR code or use the donate button on this post to invest in a local child's future today. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create a new beginning.

✂️ We Need Your Help July 16th–18th! ❤️

Our New Beginnings Community Outreach event is almost here, and we're looking for a few more amazing volunteers to help local children head back to school with confidence!

📣 Our greatest need is for these time slots:
🗓️ Friday, July 17 | 6:00–8:00 PM
🗓️ Saturday, July 18 | 8:30–11:00 AM

A fresh haircut or hairstyle is more than just a new look—it helps a child walk into the first day of school feeling confident, valued, and ready to succeed.

If you're a hairstylist, barber, or braider, we'd love to have you join us July 16th–18th. Even one 2-hour shift can make a lasting difference in a child's life!

Can't volunteer? You can still help by sharing this post with the talented stylists, barbers, and braiders in your network. Together, we can ensure every child leaves New Beginnings looking—and feeling—their very best as they head into a new school year.
