September 15, 2009 (RALEIGH, NC) – Lather Hair Salon, a full-service salon in North Raleigh, has signed on to help sponsor the Habitat for Humanity of Wake County’s 2009 Homes Tour.
For several years, Habitat Wake has begun the holiday season the Sunday before Thanksgiving with its Home Tour of a particular neighborhood in which several Habitat houses have been built. The event includes a holiday party at the ReStore on Raleigh Boulevard where Habitat Wake sells usable building materials at a deep discount to raise money for building Habitat homes.
To defray the costs of the tour and party, sponsors underwrite the event and local restaurants donate food and beverages. All funds raised through tickets sales to the event go directly into building homes and supporting families, according to Missy Hatley, assistant director of development at Habitat Wake.
“I can’t think of another community outreach that deserves our support more than Habitat for Humanity,” said Lather Hair Salon’s owner and senior stylist Jessica Williams. “Building healthy, affordable homes for families who so desperately need them is such a remarkable service to any community, including our own here in Wake County. We’re honored to help sponsor the Home Tour — to celebrate and show off what Habitat Wake volunteers have accomplished this year.” 
Lather Hair Salon makes it a regular practice to get involved in charitable efforts. Most recently, the salon turned its back-to-school sale into a collection drive for Matter of Trust, the umbrella organization that sponsors the Oil Spill Hair Mats program. Throughout the special, Lather stylists collected hair clippings that will be turned into mats that help clean up oil spills.
Habitat Wake will announce more details of its 2009 Home Tour in the near future. To learn more about Habitat Wake and the ReStore, visit www.habitatwake.org.
