Roughly 50% of Broward County’s homeless population lives in Fort Lauderdale.

Our mission is to change the world one conversation and haircut at a time.

The Backpack Barber Foundation

What we provide is not just free haircuts for the homeless, it’s also support and a conversation with the purpose of bringing hope and dignity back into their lives. A lot of people on the streets want to make a change and get their life back, but they feel invisible and hopeless. We want to be the difference makers.  We are starting with our community in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, but we want to inspire people to be difference-makers in their own community and all around the world.

No one should ever be ignored.  No one should go through life alone.  Some of the people we help haven’t spoken to a single person in years.

We give the homeless hope.  Hope to strengthen their self-esteem.  To give them opportunity.  Each day is a struggle and hope goes a long way.

Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs at you. It’s life, you only have one.  Anything can happen at anytime that can change your life forever. It can happen to anyone.

Entire families (at least 131 just in Broward County!) live on the street without hope and without the opportunity for employment because of their appearance.  We aim to change that!  To break the cycle!
