Sparrow's Nest is a local charity that feeds families facing a cancer diagnosis. They prepare homemade meals on Monday and deliver to the recipients on Tuesday.
Sparrow's Nest is an incredible local charity that helps families that are facing a cancer diagnosis. They make homemade meals weekly and deliver to each of the recipients. They also do extras like sending birthday cupcakes and supplies for birthdays in the household. During the summer they do Camp Sparrow, where a few times during the summer they get extra snacks. Also through Camp Sparrow they get cold cuts each week.
Sparrow's Nest has helped so many people in this community that are facing a cancer diagnosis. Having homemade meals delivered each week takes the burden off the family. They have one less than they have to worry about.
This is the best local charity that I am so happy to come across! All the other volunteers and staff are so wonderful. I was so excited to hear that they are expanding and will be able to help anyone going through cancer. It's something no one should go through alone. With Sparrow's Nest by their side, they will always be surrounded by love.
There are so many great things to say about Sparrow's Nest of the Hudson Valley. The mission is beautiful, feed your neighbors in the face of cancer. The Sparrow's staff is self-less in their commitment to the community. The community support of the mission is undeniably authentic, both in volunteer and financial support. I have been a proud supporter of the organization for many years, I believe in helping my neighbors first.
Sparrow’s Nest’s mission is to cook and deliver homemade meals to families facing a cancer diagnosis, but they do so much more than that. Sparrows Nest’s Executive Director, Krista Jones, and her fantastic team spend countless hours making sure their recipients receive not just incredible meals, but also additional support and services which help families through the uncertainty of cancer. These additional services include a supplemental food program, Camp Sparrow program, an aftercare program, and so much more!. You can be assured that a donation to Sparrow’s Nest is being used to not only feed a family navigating a cancer diagnosis, but also supporting them in so many other ways.
I can not say enough about Sparrow's Nest. I am an Oncology Nurse and the feedback I get from my patient's experiences with this charity is always outstanding. Not just the food they provide (which is always enjoyed) but to the delivery drivers and the comfort they are providing to a family going through a difficult time. They offer these families two nights of worry free dinners as well as relieving a small financial burden providing these meals. Krista Jones and her staff are truly amazing! I am not only a Board Member, I am a fundraising runner and a professional in the community providing care to those Sparrow's Nest serves.
Sparrow’s Nest has an amazing mission and is incredible at connecting with anybody. They have created an amazing community and have such a moving cause. It has been a delight to volunteer with them and to be a part of their journey!
Out of all the non-profits I've donated to, this one is by far the most personal. Sparrow's Nest delivers food to families going through cancer. But that's not all. They deliver a smile, a hug, a listening ear, a happy moment on a gloomy day. They send cheer when someone has a birthday in family and they take care of each family with dignity and respect.

Sparrow's Nest does so much for so many people. They cook and deliver food to families going through treatment for cancer. They offer love, support, and understanding during a terrible time. There are so many additional services of support that there are too many to mention. I rate them 5 stars for all the angels that help this outstanding organization.
One of the best! Sparrow's Nest is a blessing to the Hudson Valley cancer community. The staff and volunteers constantly work to make life easier for families struggling through a cancer diagnosis. Delivering homemade meals each week is their main focus, but they do so much more. Birthday celebration bags, summer fun boxes, snack deliveries, holiday extras, even supplemental groceries for families struggling financially. Their commitment to the families they serve is awe-inspiring. We are so excited to watch the next chapter of Sparrow's Nest unfold!
This charity is absolutely incredible. They help feel families that are facing a cancer diagnosis. Bringing meals not only helps the families, it brings some sense of normalcy. They can sit and have a meal together instead of having to worry about making it.
They also have a supplemental food program, Camp Sparrow Program, and an Aftercare Program.
I have volunteered with this organization in a variety of ways since 2015. No matter what the effort to raise money, it is NOTHING compared to those they serve who are in a constant battle with CANCER. Krista and her staff are creative, caring, and goal-driven. In their efforts to help the community, they inspire so many more - beyond the reach of our community. I am honored to play a small role in this wonderful charity and cannot wait to see what the future brings and how many more they can help!
About 10 years ago I was looking for a local, community based charity that would keep my donations local and help those in the community I called home. I was also looking for a Christian based charity that shared the same religious and moral values that I use as the road map of my life. My daughter has a dietary degree with a emphasis on Oncology. It only made sense that we find a charity that concentrated on the health and dietary needs of cancer patients. We struck gold in finding Sparrow's Nest charity. We started with an initial donation of $10,000 and every year we watched that number and the charity grow. It gives my family great pride in announcing that to date we have raised and donated $212,500. Sparrows Nest and its crew of warriors are Heaven sent! It is a marriage truly made in Heaven. Thank you All for everything you do for others. Gerry Thorpe Bayhorse Gazebo's and Barns
I can think of no other non-profit organization where you can better see the direct impact donor generosity has on members of the community than Sparrow's Nest. Sparrow's Nest does more than provide meals, it nourishes souls and provides individuals and their families with hope - and fun.
During times when everything is turned upside down, these amazing volunteers - who are every day heroes - lovingly prepare and deliver home-cooked meals that bring families a sense of normalcy being together around the table and the surprise and anticipation of what special delivery might arrive that week to celebrate a birthday, holiday or help the family with groceries, school supplies and more.
I remember interviewing Krista Jones for a news story in the early years of starting Sparrow's Nest and her desire to feed "everyone" and watched with awe as she expanded from feeding Moms and children to Dads and reached hundreds of families in the region. With a new home in the future after 10 years of making a difference, the next steps of feeding senior citizens with cancer will become more possible. The Sparrow's team is an unstoppable force committed to a mission of greater good that I am so proud to help support.
The Sparrows Nest Charity is tireless in their mission to feed those facing a cancer diagnosis. Founder, Krista Jones and her staff are committed to evolve, with new, innovative ideas to always keep their mission first! So honored to volunteer as a Sparrows Nest runner to keep the mission “in flight!”
This charity is nothing short of a blessing of love, support and hope for families battling a cancer diagnosis. From the Executive Director/Founder, to the drivers, to the volunteer board, to the ladies in the office and the kitchen staff and other volunteers, there is no lack of compassion found at Sparrow’s Nest and all those that support their mission. They are the real deal, with hearts in the right place always!!! It’s hard to accept help, but Sparrow’s Nest is waiting with open arms when you are willing to accept it. Xoxo
This organization is one of the best. Even during the pandemic when everything was shut down, they made sure their families were fed. Krista and her staff go above and beyond on a daily basis and do it with full hearts.
Amazing charity that helps local families. It provides not only meals, but love and support all year long with extras at holidays , back to school, etc. Well managed and highly respected charity in our area.
As first a volunteer and then a recipient of the Sparrow's Nest services I can speak from both sides of the organization. As a volunteer, I was appreciated and inspired by the leadership especially the founder, Krista Jones. I've known Krista since our girls were in Kindergarten and now they are graduates in 2020. In 2015 I received devasting news that I had Breast Cancer. My first call was to my friend Krista. Beyond reassuring me, Krista immediately made some phone calls that set my path to recovery in motion. Sparrow's Nest provided great meals, comfort and support and gifts beyond measure for my girls and I. They are a blessing to our community!
