SHERMAN, Texas (Feb. 7, 2025) – Sparklight® is serving as a drop-off site for a food drive to assist local college students.

Donations are being collected at Sparklight’s retail office at 3720 Texoma Pkwy. in Sherman, Monday through Friday, now through Feb. 26, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sparklight associates and community members are encouraged to contribute canned goods/meats, peanut butter, protein bars, fruit snacks and other staples.
