Rob’s Barbershop Community Foundation Rob's Barbershop Community Foundation (RBCF), a 24-year-old nonprofit organization, organizes projects making no-charge grooming services accessible to targeted populations with barriers to regular hair care. They do this by operating case-managed projects and/or installing full-service (or portable) barber/beauty salon areas onsite where the target population exists. Their target populations typically are individuals experiencing homelessness, in foster care, or living at or below U.S. poverty guidelines. In Anne Arundel County, RBCF has installed barber/beauty shops or provided case-managed services to agencies and schools such as Sarah's House, The Light House, Phoenix Academy, MacArthur Middle School, Annapolis Elementary School, and the foster care unit at the Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services. They have also participated in Anne Arundel County's Homeless Resource Day providing no-charge haircuts for over 10 years straight!
