Wigs for kids

Wigs for Kids is a nonprofit organization started by Jeffrey Paul who creates wigs for children who have lost their hair either permanently or temporarily due to a medical condition. This organization accepts donations of hair and money. Volunteers run fund-raisers to offset wig costs.

Other Charities
Locks of Love accepts hair donations of untreated hair due to a medical condition. It has, however, come under criticism for selling about 80% of the hair the organization has received to offset the cost of wig manufacturing.
