The primary mission of Sparrow’s Nest is to cook and deliver two homemade meals once a week to families struggling through a cancer diagnosis in Putnam and parts of Orange, Ulster and Northern Westchester counties. Parents, guardians or children who live in parts of five Hudson Valley counties and who are actively receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment, or who are recovering from surgery due to their diagnosis qualify for our services. These families must have children 18 years of age or younger living in the home and must live within 35 miles of their Wappingers Falls kitchen. Thanks to the support of their community, qualified recipients are never turned away.
Sparrow’s Nest has fed more than 2,000 people since inception. The charity is about much more than just food. It’s about community rallying around a family to help with some of their basic needs, it’s about giving these families some peace of mind knowing a homemade meal is coming and it’s about showing them that will be supported throughout their sickness, trying to alleviate some of their stress.
