Part of Aveda’s mission is “give back to society”. This phrase has always struck a chord with me. I think it is super important to always be thinking of how we can be giving back, especially those less fortunate than you. Ashka Salon Spa has a very similar Core Value:

“Always uphold our integrity and contribute to the betterment of local and global community.”

Ashka Salon Spa is Giving Back Through Anchor of Hope

Giving Back at Forgotten Harvest

Steve and Lisa Curry, the owners of Ashka Salon Spa, recently volunteered at Forgotten Harvest in Fenton, Michigan. Forgotten Harvest’s mission is:

“We are dedicated to relieving hunger in metro Detroit and preventing nutritious food waste.”

They were established in 1990 to fight two problems: Hunger and Waste. What I think is so cool about Forgotten Harvest is the amount of opportunities they have to volunteer! For instance, Lisa was working in the kitchen  separating meals into bags to send out of shelters that they had gotten from restaurants that no longer fit in the guideline of “restaurant quality food”. By this I mean, even though they might not be able to sell it anymore, the food is still good and can provide nutrition to someone in need. Steve on the other hand was going through pounds of potatoes picking out rotten ones and separating the good ones to be used and sent out.

I think it is so important to attempt to give back to the world around you. I am so lucky to work for a company, both Aveda and Ashka Salon Spa, who believe that as well.

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂
