RBCF PARTNERSHIP PROJECT
This project was created when we measured that barber & beauty salons in Maryland fell below the national average when it comes to participating in activities that make grooming services accessible to target populations with barriers to regular hair care. This project’s goal is to increase the number of barber & beauty salons that participate in benevolent grooming activities. For the next 12 months, local area barber & beauty salons will be invited to participate via invitation from RBCF. Approved barber & beauty salons will receive resources and technical assistance to conduct their own benevolent grooming activities
