BUFFALO, N.Y. — Members of Color Helping All, also known as MOCHA, gave out free haircuts to kids Thursday afternoon at the Engine 23 firehouse on Bailey Avenue.
There was also a book bag giveaway, food and music.
"A haircut gives you confidence, helps you look good on your first day of school, helps (the kids) out a lot," Anthony Freeman, a Buffalo firefighter, said during the event.
Aside from the back-to-school haircuts, organizers of the event said it also provides neighborhood kids the chance to experience positive images in their community.
