Two of the Pickren family companies located in Oldsmar, Florida- SEI and 4XPRO- are excited to deepen their ongoing partnership with Clothes To Kids. This year, the companies donated an additional $10,000, earning them the title of Coat Club Partner! 

Since 2002, Clothes To Kids has served the Pinellas and Hillsborough communities by providing new and quality used clothing to low-income or in-crisis school-age children, completely free of charge. A single wardrobe package from Clothes To Kids equips a student with a full week’s worth of clothing—including 5 tops, 4 bottoms (pants, shorts, or skirts), 1 jacket/coat, 5 pairs of new socks, and 5 pairs of new underwear. With the  $10,000 donation, Clothes To Kids will be able to provide 100 local children with full wardrobe packages, ensuring they have the essential clothing they need for the school year.

​Our commitment to Clothes To Kids goes beyond financial support. Kim Pickren has been a dedicated weekly volunteer at the organization for years, helping students and families pick out clothes that make them feel their best. Kim Pickren shares about her experience:

​We are honored to support such an impactful organization in our local community and we look forward to continuing our partnership to help children thrive both in and out of the classroom!

SEI is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Oldsmar Cares by donating $2,500 to support their critical Weekend Food For Kids campaign!
As a longtime partner of Oldsmar Cares, SEI has seen firsthand the profound impact this organization has on our immediate neighbors. Founded in 1997, Oldsmar Cares is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to serving local families in need by providing free food, clothing, and stop-gap financial assistance. Because the organization is operated entirely by volunteers, 100% of donations go directly to those who need it most.

With the new school year now kicking off, this donation couldn't come at a better time. For many local children, free or reduced-price school meals are their primary source of nutrition during the week. When Friday afternoon arrives, many of these students face food insecurity until school resumes on Monday morning.

The Weekend Food For Kids initiative bridges this gap by sending school-age children home every Friday with kid-friendly, nutritious food packs. Our $2,500 donation arrives just as students head back to the classroom, helping stock these weekend packages so local kids can focus on learning, growing, and thriving all year long.

Building a strong community starts right here in our own backyard. SEI is deeply grateful to Oldsmar Cares for their tireless dedication to lifting up local families, and we look forward to many more years of working together to support our community!
