PLEASE SHARE! Everyone knows someone battling cancer. The number of families locally that are affected is staggering. Sparrow's Nest mission is to help these families by providing meals to lessen the stress and burden of having to make family meals after long days of testing, chemo, etc. We will be coming together for a night of laughs on March 6th, with the proceeds going to Sparrow’s Nest.
