Students at PCC host 'Santa Self-Care Day' to help ease holiday stress

Posted

PUEBLO — The holidays can be a stressful time. Many people worry about gift-giving, preparing for family gatherings and so much more.

That's why students at Pueblo Community College (PCC) hosted a free 'Santa Self-Care Day.'

Kids all across the City of Pueblo were given free manicures, haircuts and other things that come with a day of pampering. The event began a couple of years ago when organizers connected with PCC to help with what they saw as a need in the community.

This year, almost 200 people came to get free services. Someone of the people behind the event are alumni giving back.

"It feels good to give back," said Zachariah Cunningham, a previous student at PCC. "I loved my experience here at the school and anything I can do to give back... to the community is great."

Officials hope to do another event in the spring.
