Throughout September it's easy for Sweetbay shoppers to make a difference.

Sweetbay Supermarkets is teaming up with Food 4 Kids, a Junior League of Tampa Bay program and Pack-A-Sack, a United Methodist Cooperative Ministries initiative in Pinellas County, to provide weekend backpack meals to students in need who attend after-school programs in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.
