We need volunteers 14 and older to assist in the opening and sorting of the 3000 donated ponytails received each week. Volunteers are also needed to send thank you certificates to each hair donor. Our hours are 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday at our national headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida off of Southern Boulevard.
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
