Sweet Home Education Foundation Inc

The Sweet Home Education Foundation (SHEF) is a non-profit (501c3) dedicated to helping Sweet Home students and families. Established in 2019, SHEF began by raising money for Teacher Mini-Grants. With a successful mini-grant program underway, SHEF began to invest in a Weekend Backpack Food Program, which is now called the SHEF Cares Food Outreach Program. This proved to be vital for our community through the school shutdowns during COVID and even to this day when our region deals with food insecurity. Feeding hundreds of students on the weekends continues to be a primary focus for our foundation. With hundreds of volunteers, SHEF is able to provide non-perishable food to the doorsteps of our families in need. From 2020 to today, many more programs were added out of necessity: Teen Professional Clothes Closet, Prom Dress Giveback Program, Athlete Snack Program and Sponsor a Musician. SHEF continues to grow with new endeavors for fundraising and community support. Please visit http://www.sweethomefoundation.org for more details on SHEF!
