Our Mission

The Pickren Community Outreach Program was established to make charitable donations to the communities surrounding the companies and factories owned by the Pickren family. We recognize and celebrate our social responsibility to give back to these communities in meaningful ways.

On December 22nd, 2019, hundreds of toys were given to children in need in the North Greenwood community. SEI and the Pickren family were proud sponsors of the event. SEI employees collected toys at the factory and donated them to the toy drive. Each year, beloved community members, O'Neil Larkin and Nedra, organize and run the toy give away. Children of all ages gather to receive a wrapped Christmas present.

​This year on Sunday, November 24th, SBT and WCSS proudly hosted the annual North Greenwood Thanksgiving Dinner right in their front yard! For over 15 years, hundreds of community members have gathered to share a meal and celebrate the successes of the community for which they are grateful. In the past, this event has been graciously been hosted in O’Neil Larkin’s front yard, but this year, the event moved a few yards down the street in front of the SBT and WCSS factories. Greg Pickren, SBT owner, explains this year’s change:
We are always so impressed with the turnout at the annual Thanksgiving dinner. With the help of many community members, particularly our good friend O’Neil Larkin, this event has become a very successful and joyous celebration that we look forward to every year. To accommodate the large number of guests that share a meal together, we moved the location to our factory. This change will allow SBT and WCSS to continue their on-going support of the North Greenwood community for years to come.

​A full Thanksgiving dinner was provided to over 1,500 people courtesy of SBT, WCSS, and the North Greenwood community. Clearwater mayor, George Cretekos, welcomed community members at the event. Attendees ate good food, shared stories about the community,  and enjoyed the entertainment!
