Free Haircuts and Backpacks for Kids | Tucson News

School supply prices are soaring nearly 8% this year, straining family budgets—but in Southern Arizona, community heroes are stepping up. Deejays Against Hunger and Brotherz Barber Shop teamed up to gift over 100 kids with free haircuts and backpacks, helping them start school feeling fresh and confident. Owner Jorge Sierra even brought in student barbers, including his own brother, to lend a hand. With tariffs driving up costs on imported supplies—and brands like Newell Brands raising prices multiple times—it’s no wonder parents are calling the bills “ridiculous.” As schools reopen across the region, this local effort shines as a powerful reminder of how global trade impacts everyday life—and how communities can come together to lift the next generation.
