CHARLOTTE, NC – Headlines Barber Shop will host its 4th Annual Food Drive from July 19th – August 13th.  The drive will benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina.  The organization provides food to those in need in the greater Charlotte area.

Headlines Barber Shop, traditionally, holds their annual food drive during the summer since food bank donations are lower during that time.  To date, the barber shop has collected over 38,000 pounds of food which equates to over 57,000 meals for Charlotte families in need.  This year’s food drive is sponsored by local non-profit organization, Array of Brighter Beginnings.

Season Bennett and her husband, Derrick, own Headlines Barber Shop.  Season was inspired to hold the first food drive because hunger is a cause that hit close to home.  “Being raised by a single mother trying to make ends meet, we have benefitted from the resources offered by the local food bank.”

Continuing in that same tradition, this year’s food drive will be called #CharlotteBarbersCare with a goal of collecting 10,000 pounds of food.  VH1’s Love and Hip Hop’s female rap group, BBOD will be attending a pep rally at Headlines Barber Shop on Friday, July 22nd at 10am-12 noon to help bring attention to this cause.  The public is encouraged to attend and bring non-perishable goods to benefit the food bank.

Throughout the drive, the public is encouraged to share pictures on social media with the hashtag: #CharlotteBarbersCare.
