Cuts 4 Christ: Restoring Dignity Through Service

barber chair

Cuts 4 Christ is a mobile salon ministry serving the unhoused and less fortunate. In the summer of 2023, Virginia Oakes was asked to lead the haircutting station for the Day of Joy event. In just four hours, the team provided 70 haircuts. Seeing firsthand the impact a simple haircut could have, Virginia was inspired to create a ministry dedicated to meeting this essential need.

Today, barbers, hairstylists, and volunteers have joined together to provide haircuts, hygiene products, clothing, and more—offering dignity, confidence, and hope to those in need. This ministry is guided by its mission to be the Hands and Feet of Christ, bringing love and compassion wherever they go.

In its first year and a half, Cuts 4 Christ has grown beyond haircuts. These are some of the things we need donations for so we can keep helping:

How You Can Help

Cuts For Christ is fully run on donations. We are a 501 C3 nonprofit charitable organization. Though haircuts are our main goal, we give out hygiene, Bibles, clothing, blankets and even at times food.

Cuts For Christ owns a trailer that is converted into a hair washing station. This is the first of many mobile hair washing stations we want to use at places where water may not always be available. We are asking that you consider helping us be the hands and feet of Christ. A donation of any amount will further this ministry.

"Collaborating with local businesses helps Cuts4Crist access essential resources. Mobile salon services, powered by volunteers bring professional hair cutting and hair styling services directly to the homeless. Access to items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant helps individuals maintain personal hygiene, which is essential to one’s overall health and well-being."
