Local Barber Gives Back On Both Sides Of The Clippers
To local barber Antoine Carey, being in business is just as much about making a difference as making a dollar.
For the past nine months, Carey and his team from Faded & Co. barbershop have offered free haircuts to anyone interested or in need on the first and third Mondays of the month at the Central Rappahannock Regional Library in downtown Fredericksburg.
Community Service
The FADED Foundation recently held a series of events at schools and non-profit organizations, providing free haircuts to students and community members. These videos capture the heart of the initiative, featuring skilled barbers hard at work while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The shared smiles and laughter between the barbers and recipients embody the spirit of community that the FADED Foundation strives to nurture.
