(June 11, 2024) – It might feel like summer just started but FSS and community partners are working together to help ease the weight of back-to-school supplies for families in foster and preventive care programs.

From now to July 8, our generous communities can donate school supplies at businesses shown below. Specific dates of drives per business is noted. This list may be updated throughout the summer, so check back often.

Right now, Scooters Coffee in Pasco County is offering three mini donuts when you donate! Vampire Penguin in Pinellas, Seminole City Center location, offers a free mini snow with the donation of any three items from the drive wish list.
