A back-to-school event is being held Sunday afternoon in Albany to help kids get ready to return to the classroom.

The Barber Lounge is providing local kids with free haircuts.

The event will also provide other resources to families, such as free meals, face painting and donated backpacks with school supplies.

In addition to the Barber Lounge, many businesses throughout Loudon Plaza will be participating.

This is the second year the Barber Lounge is hosting the event.

No registration or appointments are required.

It is from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 370 Northern Boulevard.
