ALBANY, GA --
Athlete's Foot along with Head and OPM entertainment have teamed up to help local area children going back to school.

The groups are giving away school supplies to children at the store's location on 2800-3 Old Dawson Road in Albany.

Master barber Arthebarber says he was asked to come in and give haircuts to the kids. He thought that it was a great way to give back help the kids and to give back to the community while providing a positive role model.

Kids can get the haircuts from 1 to 9 PM, but the school supplies can be picked up from 8 AM to 9 PM.
