Sweet Friend Foundation

Programs At-A-Glance

Since 2023, the Sweet Friend Foundation has been dedicated to enhancing the experience of public education for teachers and students. Our programs ensure that all students are having the same experience as their peers regardless of their socioeconomic status and that our teachers get the support they need. We couldn't do this without the support of our community.

  • A group of young children wearing hats and backpacks, walking outdoors on a sunny day, with adults supervising them.

    SWEET FRIEND BACKPACKS

    Provide backpacks and school supplies to Pinellas County elementary and middle school children. "Sweet Friends' Got Your Back!"

    It's more than just a backpack, it gives students the confidence they need to succeed and feel prepared.
