How We Are Giving Back This Pongal Season
In the spirit of Pongal — gratitude and community — here is what Akila's Hair & Nails Studio is doing to give back this January.
Pongal is a festival of gratitude — for the harvest, for the sun, for the community that sustains us. At Akila's Hair & Nails Studio, we take that spirit seriously. This Pongal season, we are partnering with the Tamil Newcomer Support Network to provide care packages to newly arrived Tamil families in the GTA.
For every customer who visits us during January, we will donate a portion of proceeds to the care package fund. Last year we provided 40 packages; this year our goal is 75. If you would like to contribute directly, speak to any of our staff members — we are accepting donations at our premises throughout January.
