Stoughton’s Hair Cuttery Salon Wants to Help Folks Stay Warm This Winter

Press Release from the Hair Cuttery:

The Hair Cuttery salon in Stoughton will not only be helping you to look good this holiday season but will also help you to feel good – and to do some good as well.

All Hair Cuttery salons throughout New England join a national effort called Krausey’s Koats – a drive that was started 6 years ago by former radio personality Joe Krause with the help of the IBEW.

During the past six holiday seasons, Krausey’s Koats has collected more than 15,000 coats and cold-weather clothing.

Hair Cuttery, the largest family-owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, partnered with the Krausey’s Koats campaign last year in the Philadelphia area and successfully collected 6,500 coats for those in need there.

“This year, with the expansion of the program into other regions of the country, including New England, we hope to collect even more cold-weather clothing for those in need. That would certainly make it a merrier holiday for all of us,”  Dennis Ratner, Hair Cuttery Founder and CEO, said.

Hair Cuttery has begun collecting gently used coats, jackets, hats, scarves or mittens at all of its 44 New England salons, including the Stoughton salon, located at 417 Washington St.

Collections will end January 1, 2012.

The transportation and delivery of the winter gear will be handled in collaboration with the United States Army. All collected items will be delivered to local missions and homeless shelters, and a variety of non-profits serving the needy, such as: St. Vincent DePaul Society, the Salvation Army and Cradles to Crayons.

Hair Cuttery has an established legacy of charitable giving. The company supports a number of national and local causes, including: Dress for Success, American Cancer Society, Special Olympics, Buzzing 4 Change, National Kidney Foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and Locks of Love.
