Join us as we celebrate the 30th Annual Junior League of St. Petersburg Care Fair and help local families kick off the school year with confidence.

For 30 years, the Care Fair has connected Pinellas County families with the resources they need for a successful school year, all at no cost.

All families are welcome. No eligibility requirements to attend.

Pre-registration for medical and dental appointments is encouraged but not required. Pre-register here.

Visit our indoor Community Resource Fair featuring local organizations and family services, then head outside to enjoy the Street Fair with a DJ, shaved ice, children's activities, bike safety education, local sports teams, a fire truck, and more.

The Care Fair's mission is to prepare K–12 students with the resources they need to start the school year ready for success.

Last year, our efforts provided vital support to local children, including donating 1,100+ backpacks filled with over 35,000+ school supplies inside the backpacks, 600+ kids books, and 400+ snack packs filled with shelf-stable and fresh food. 

These contributions directly impacted the health and readiness of children in our community for the upcoming school year.
