Help when you need it most.
More Than Just Food
To best serve the diverse needs of our community, the Sparwood Food Bank operates two vital sub-programs that you can learn about below. Donations for each program are always welcome.
Sparwood Food Bank
The Sparwood Food Bank is the cornerstone of our service, this program provides a reliable supply of non-perishable staples and household essentials to those in immediate need. Each hamper is designed to provide several days of balanced meals for individuals or families.
​
Goal: To provide a critical safety net for residents facing temporary financial crisis or long-term food insecurity.
Impact: Reduces the stress of hunger, allowing neighbors to focus on health, work, and family stability.
​
Visit us at 114 Centennial St (Back Entrance) Tuesdays & Thursdays between 11:00am-12:00pm for applications, pick up, or physical donations.
Sparwood Food Share
The Sparwood Food Share program focuses on reducing food waste and increasing access to fresh, healthy produce. We work with local retailers and partners to rescue perishable food items—like fruits, vegetables, dairy, and baked goods—that would otherwise be thrown away.
Goal: To provide balanced nutrition, supplement regular hampers, and promote sustainable practices.
Impact: Ensures that families have access to the fresh ingredients needed to prepare healthy, home-cooked meals.
​
Accepted applicants of the Food Bank will be given a pick up schedule, moreover public Food Share Openings will be posted on our Facebook Page.
Toys For Tots - Sparwood Chapter
While food is our primary focus, we understand that hardship affects the whole family, especially during the holiday season. The Sparwood Food Bank proudly coordinates the local Toys For Tots campaign.
Goal: To ensure that every child in Sparwood has a gift to open on Christmas morning.
Impact: Offers a bit of magic and relief to parents facing financial strain, helping to create joyful holiday memories.
