Sparrow's Nest

06/06/2026

Guys….. I’m a bit sad and I know this is a long shot, but it looks like someone stole a bunch of our garden hoses, our garden timer, cut through our irrigation system and basically left us with a mess we have to replace.

I have cameras so I’m going to start going through footage, but thought I would spread the word just incase someone saw something in the past two weeks.

If you have any information, you can message me privately.

On a brighter note- our volunteers got a lot of work done today despite the setback.

101.5 WPDH is bringing back their Roof-a-thon, and a portion of the weekend’s festivities goes to Sparrow’s Nest.

“Boots on the Ground” is back June 27th with our local fire companies collecting donations for Sparrow’s Nest

Thank you Field Hall Foundation for your amazing $25,000 gift to support nutritious food deliveries for seniors in Dutchess County with cancer.

We are truly blessed to be a recipient of this amazing donation.

Nutrition is key when going through cancer treatment and this gift allows us to deliver fresh, local produce from our hometown farmers to the doors of people fighting through their diagnosis.

We spend countless hours figuring out our menus each week to feed 400 plus people facing a cancer diagnosis …… and fun fact (if you didn’t know), we don’t repeat a recipe for at least a year!

We really love our homemade meals!

Even when I was in radio, I was always in awe and a bit jealous of the 101.5 WPDH Roof-a-Thon.

A year ago, Anthony told me he planned to bring it back for their 50th bday.

Today’s big announcement - involves Sparrow’s Nest and we are super grateful. Shout out to Town of Wappingers Supervisor, Joseph D. Cavaccini who was instrumental throughout the approval process.
June 26-28th 💚
Tons of events scheduled including a concert at The Chance Theater, a Poker Run and “Boots on the Ground” We can’t wait.

Our beautiful Superhero 5K is in the rearview mirror because we have no time to waste- cancer doesn’t stop, so neither do we.

Let’s talk about our Farm to Table Gala on September 25th.

We’ve announced the Volunteers of the Year…

Now it’s time to announce our Recipient of the Year- and we just happened to catch her reaction on video!

Save the Date. Tickets go on sale beginning of August.

PS- don’t mind my protein Cheerios and really sad looking pear. I promise- my food choices normally look better 🤣

850 registered. 50 plus volunteers, an amazing Barton Orchards staff, Board members, fabulous sponsors, my awesome small, but mighty Sparrow crew - and a rainbow then some sunshine.

I have so many things I want to say but I’m overwhelmed, so right now I will simply say thank you to all of you who showed up. You are truly a blessing to me.

Here are some of the hundreds of pics and video taken
