A man wearing a hat, sunglasses, and gloves uses hair clippers on another man against a blurred outdoor background.

It starts with a haircut.In 2004, Jason Schneidman got clean and sober.  He believes that to keep your sobriety, you have to give it away.  That’s how California Born Foundation began: with a free haircut for someone experiencing homelessness on the corner of Hollywood and Highland. A haircut can change how someone sees themselves.  It can bring back confidence and help someone reach for opportunities they thought had passed them by. Jason has been where many of these folks are, and that’s why he can connect with them. Where your donation goesYour gift funds detox scholarships and supports rehabs and sober living programs for people ready to get off the street and back on their feet. The work isn’t easy and it takes time, but these people are worth it, and we help one person at a time.
