Ten-year-old Kinley Macknin has transformed her family’s experience with cancer into a meaningful gift for others: a new Little Free Library at The Gathering Place Beachwood location.

Through reaching out to friends and family, Kinley raised enough money to make the Little Library a reality. She worked alongside her father, Jonathan, to build the library, install it and fill it with books.

The Gathering Place recently celebrated her donation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Kinley’s family, friends, neighbors, and The Gathering Place staff and volunteers.

Kinley said she was inspired by the idea of placing a library somewhere calm and peaceful, a description she felt fit The Gathering Place perfectly.

Thank you Kinley for your dedication and generosity!

The Little Free Library is located at The Gathering Place East, 23300 Commerce Park in Beachwood.

A huge thank you to the students of the Styled Profile Barber & Beauty Summer Camp who hand-made and donated over 20 wigs to The Gathering Place💜

Ranging in ages from 9-14 years old, the students spent a week learning about and making the wigs.

In addition, the students used a lot of patience and discipline when making these wigs, and the amount of detail is incredible. Each wig came in a silk bag, with instructions on how to care for the wig.

The students came to The Gathering Place office to donate the wigs, to get a tour of the wig salon, and for a celebration of their accomplishments.

The Styled Profile Barber & Beauty Summer Camp offers 8 one-week sessions, where students learn about haircutting, barbering, braiding, nails, and more. Throughout the camp, there is a large emphasis on service and giving back to the community. In addition to summer camps, Styled Profile Barber & Beauty also offers classes year-round for youth who are interested in exploring the beauty industry.

Thank you to the students and to Styled Profile Barber & Beauty for their support of The Gathering Place!
