Tucson, AZ (July 14, 2026) |
Tucson Federal Credit Union (TFCU) is once again helping Tucson kids start the school year fresh and in style and the clock is ticking to give. TFCU's 2026 Back-to-School Supplies and Haircut Drive launched June 16 and runs through July 15, giving the community just a few more days to contribute.
In partnership with Headliners Barber Shop, TFCU is offering free back-to-school haircuts for youth in need at a special event on Wednesday, July 29, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Tucson Mall (4500 N Oracle Rd).
This year, the drive has expanded to every TFCU branch across Tucson, with donation boxes collecting new school supplies and monetary contributions through July 15. Both members and non-members are welcome to give: donors can drop off a cash donation in person at any branch, and members may also ask a branch representative to transfer funds directly from their account into a special holding account established for the drive. All donations must be made in person at a branch location.
Vouchers for the free haircuts will be distributed in collaboration with a local youth-serving nonprofit organization (to be announced), ensuring these back-to-school boosts reach the families who need them most.
“TFCU’s commitment to education and opportunity began with our founding in the basement of Tucson High School in 1937, and it continues today through efforts like this Back-to-School Drive,” said Matthew Gaspari, TFCU President and CEO. “A fresh haircut and new school supplies can help a child walk into the first day of school with confidence. We are grateful to our members, community partners, and branch teams for helping make this possible, and we encourage anyone who can give to do so before the July 15 deadline.”
The event is part of TFCU's broader Back-to-School Week initiative, with more family-friendly events planned across Tucson in the days surrounding July 29 (details to be released soon).
