Locks of Love is a non-profit organization, based in West Palm Beach, Florida. I understand that the donated hair is used to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy or some other mishap. Note: My hair is on the fine, thin side, so, they might be selling my hair to a wig maker as other reviews state. When the salons opened up last year around June of 2020 (after being closed due to the pandemic), I made an appointment for a haircut. The lady at the salon made a ponytail - about twelve inches long - and cut it off with a sharp scissors! It was kind of traumatic. I must have shown the shock on my face because she told me, "It will grow back!" Haha! I had photos of my long hair - almost to my waist - and the Ziploc bag that held my chopped off ponytail - before I mailed my donation to Florida. Too bad those photos are in my old phone... Oh, well... Maybe I can donate again in a few more years!

This is the burial site of the unidentified African Americans who perished during the hurricane of…read more1928 in West Palm Beach. In 1913 Palm Beach set aside land for three pauper cemeteries of which this was one. In 1928 the category 4 Okeechobee hurricane killed 2,500 people, the majority were people of color who were migrant farm workers around the lake. The hurricane caused the five foot dike around Lake Okeechobee break flood causing many people to drown. A thousand white people who died were given a mass burial at Woodlawn cemetery while the African Americans were either burned or placed into mass graves. This site was one of the places to receive a mass burial. It is thought 674 bodies lie here. Time went on and the burial was largely forgotten since no memorial was ever placed to mark it. In 1950 road work on 25th street unearthed some bodies but there was still no urgency to do anything about it. The land changed hands several times until it was purchased by Bernard Kolkana who wanted to build a warehouse on the property. No one knew about the bodies until the Sankofa Society with a Yoruba leader did a blessing on the property. The idea to do something to honor the hurricane victims gained traction when Robert Hazard established non-profit organization to try to acquire the land in order to put up a memorial and possibly some sort of museum. In 2000 a Miami company was hired to do ground penetrating radar to determine where the bodies were. They discovered that they were in two layers in a 70 by 30 foot trench. The city decided to use eminent domain to take the land back from Kolkana who refused to sell it to them. At first they were only going to give him the $1,000 assessed value but then they eventually decided to pay him $180,000. Finally a memorial was constructed. On September 12, 2002 the burial site was designated a US National Registered Historic Place. On the 75th anniversary of the hurricane in 2003 the city added a historical marker. The hurricane was dramatized in Nora Neale Hurston's most famous work Their Eyes Were Watching God. On my visit the memorial was very peaceful and deserted except for two gentleman who were sitting on lawn chairs by the arbor. The grave is enclosed by a fence and it has stone markers bearing the date 1928. Even though the hurricane was the second deadliest hurricane in the United States behind Galveston Texas it has largely been forgotten as has it's victims. The pioneers who built Florida deserve to be remembered and the city taking control of the memorial is a step in the right direction.

They take in items that would otherwise end up in landfills and make them available to people who can repurpose them. Resource Depot furthers its mission to leave the planet a little cleaner through workshops, events, and community partnerships. Their Pam Sartory GalleRE showcases local artists' upcycled artwork, while the Materials Marketplace and TrewasuRE Boutique offer repurposed items for sale. Their goal is simple yet impactful: provide materials to those who can use them while promoting sustainable practices and creative expression. Over the past 25 years, Resource Depot has kept an estimated 95+ tons of materials out of landfills, all while raising environmental awareness. As an educator with a limited--or sometimes non-existent--budget, a place like Resource Depot is a lifeline. Schools often can't provide enough supplies for students, and what little remains in the resource closet has to stretch for weeks or months. In the thrift area, I found an incredible variety of affordable items: games, holiday decorations, books, home goods, art supplies, faux florals, ribbons, artwork, and more. The paint alone was worth the trip! If you want to see a child light up, just offer them the chance to paint--fortunately, they had the Crayola washable kind I needed. Shopping is flexible and budget-friendly: a small bin is $5, a large bin is $10, and if you purchase eight large bins, you get one free. Teachers also receive a 15% discount on regularly priced items (not bins). These are prices anyone can afford. Resource Depot is truly a gem, and Palm Beach County is lucky to have such a creative, sustainable, and community-focused resource.
