Let's Change the World, One Haircut at a Time
Our local barber serves homeless individuals in Fort Lauderdale, FL and beyond
When was the last time you had a haircut? For many of us, we can get a haircut whenever we'd like. It's different when you're homeless. That's where the Backpack Barber Foundation comes in. We're a local barber that offers free haircuts for the homeless in Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, FL and the South Florida tri-county area.
But we're about more than free haircuts. We strive to elevate homeless individuals through support and conversation, with the goal of bringing hope and dignity to their lives. That means supporting all the homeless or those at-risk for homelessness, such as kids and teenagers.
Homeless people often feel invisible and hopeless. Through our free haircuts and the support of our partners, we hope to make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate but equally human.
