41% of food bank users are children. That's 325,390 kids that use food banks regularly every year in Canada. Over one million children- almost 1 in every 6 children – live in poverty in Canada. In first nations communities the child poverty rate is higher: 1 in every 4 children. Canada's child poverty rate of 17% is three times as high as the rates of Sweden, Norway or Finland.

Together, let's help cut out child poverty and suffering here in Canada and abroad.

REDKEN has joined with ONEXONE for our annual, national, Cut-A-Thon fundraiser. Every person that gets their hair cut during this event is helping a child to live a better life. $2 raised can feed a child for a day.

In 2007 and 2008, with your kind support and generosity, we raised $200,000 for the ONEXONE Foundation. This year, we want to help children in our own backyard, and we will do so by giving all the money raised to Breakfast programs and Food banks of Canada. We truly believe that when children eat breakfast they can learn better in school and as a result, live a better life. You can help by making an appointment at our participating Redken salons from June 1st to July 31st. You have to get your hair cut anyways, why not schedule it during this week and have money donated to a great cause?
