An Acadiana church and barber shop partnered up Saturday to hold a free Christmas event in St. Martinville.
Our Savior's Church and Xclusive Kuts Barber Shop offered haircuts and Christmas photos to individuals or families free of charge ahead of the holiday.
The event was held at the Hope Center in St. Martinville, and was a way for the church and barber shop to give back to those in need.
Jason Louviere, owner of Xclusive Kuts, said he and his business usually offer free 'back to school' haircuts, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced a change of plans this year. Instead, they decided to partner with OSC on Christmas at the Hope Center.
He said he and other volunteers are just trying to do everything they can to give back during these difficult times.
"With the way the world's going, everybody needs to come together and be one," Louviere commented. "Everybody's going in different directions; this is a great way to get everyone together."
Xclusive Kuts offers various free deals throughout the year. You can visit the shop at 1812 W Pinhook Road #104 in Lafayette for more information. For more on events held at Our Savior's Church Broussard, click here.
