Local Doughnut Shop Sparky's Holds Food Collection For Those In Need

Sparky’s Donuts, Ice Cream & Coffee
1357 W Sylvania Ave 
Toledo, OH 43612

February 10, 2022 - February 20, 2022

TOLEDO-  Sparky’s Donuts, Ice Cream & Coffee , a popular neighborhood located business, is gathering non-perishable food items for two Toledo area food pantries in an effort to help fill the void of available food for local residents who are in need of food assistance . The collection will begin Thursday, February 10 and will continue until the planned drop off date of Sunday, February 20. 

In Ohio, 1,547,110 people are facing hunger - of them 448,600 are children. In Toledo, one in five children does not know where their next meal will come from. An issue which continues to grow as many local food pantries have voiced shortages in several food items. Sparky’s manager Brandi Louden voiced concern: “It is my understanding that area food pantries are experiencing shortages in certain food items with the top two items currently asked for being cans of soup and jars of peanut butter.”

Sparky’s plans to donate the collected food items to Pilgrim Church, a neighborhood church next to the popular pastry shop, as well as the Help Feed Toledo Toledo Area Mobile Food Pantry. As an incentive for neighborhood residents, Sparky's will offer a free donut for dropped off donations. Limit one free donut per customer per day.
