Sparkle Strong Snack Stop & Self Care

These ongoing CICU support programs stock the CICU family lounges with snacks, grab and go food, drinks and self-care items so caregivers can catch a moment to refuel and refresh without leaving the unit or paying out of pocket.

Sparkle Strong Supper Club

Sparkle Strong Supper Club provides a free monthly dinner for families living in the pediatric CICU at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital. A donated, delivered meal means parents can eat without leaving their child’s bedside. It can help ease the financial strain that comes with a prolonged hospital stay and gives families one less decision to make.

How You Can Help

Donated meals are preferred, but depending on available funding, we’re also happy to discuss discounted meals or partial sponsorships. Businesses, restaurants, groups, families and individuals are welcome to help!

The unit is currently full (25 rooms), and we have an average of three people per family. This comes to a total of 75 meals.

What We Serve

Individual takeout meals or boxed dinners are the best option. We can also accommodate food that is naturally served in individual portions or pieces, such as pizza, sandwich platters, wrap trays and similar options. There is also space for catering style options.
