The Sweet Home Education Foundation (SHEF) is a group dedicated to supporting the 3,400+ students of the Sweet Home School District. One of SHEF's primary programs is the Weekend  Backpack Program. The program's mission is to discreetly provide children and their families with nutritious, easy to prepare food at times when resources are not available. SHEF has partnered with FeedMoreWNY to provide additional nutrition, but SHEF still heavily relies on the communities support and donations to maintain this large program.
