Free haircuts, backpacks and more!
MVP Health Care is hosting a two-day community event called "Fresh Starts" in Albany, offering free back-to-school haircuts, manicures, and 200 backpacks filled with school supplies for children. The event is part of MVP's Shine On campaign, promoting confidence and self-expression for students. Taking place at Love of the Craft Barbershop on August 28 and 29, services are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each backpack includes essential school items, and an adult must be present for children to receive services or supplies. MVP Health Care aims to ensure every child feels prepared and proud as they start the school year.
