Bay City’s Next Level Barber Institute hosted its biggest Backpack Giveaway yet last Saturday, handing out school supplies, free haircuts, and meals to over 300 local students. Held at their Avenue F shop, the event brought together organizers, volunteers, and sponsors like T-Mobile and McDonald’s to support families before school starts. DJs Marlon Swiss and Mal Brown kept the energy high as kids left with full backpacks and fresh cuts. Organizers say the goal was simple—make sure students feel confident, prepared, and supported heading into the new school year.
