Get Off the Couch in January: Community, Courage, and a Really Good Burger 🍔🔥
January is already proving that local impact happens when good people show up and sometimes when they show up hungry.
A Burger With a Mission at Spark's Burger Co.
This month, Spark’s Burger Co. rolled out a special January burger, the Get Off the Couch Burger, and it is doing more than satisfying cravings. With its bold roasted jalapeño and onion spread, it is a flavor-forward reminder that community support can be delicious.
Even better, 20% of the proceeds from this burger go directly to support Sheep Dog Impact Assistance local activities. That means every bite helps Veterans and First Responders get off the couch and back into purpose, connection, and continued service.
👉 Pro tip: This burger is only available through the end of January, so consider this your official nudge.

KHBS STORY: SDIA to help in Greenland after tornadoes
Originally published by 4029 News on May 20, 2025. Read the full article [here].
GREENLAND, Ark. — Crews with Sheep Dog Impact Assistance are set to be back in Greenland, Arkansas, Tuesday, after multiple tornadoes hit Washington County.
Around 7:30 p.m. Monday, a possible tornado touched down west of Greenland, causing damage to homes and business.
"We like to say that helping is healing, so going out and helping others is a huge aspect of what we do," said Bob Corscadden, director of disaster response for Sheep Dog. "A lot of times, we help people that wouldn't normally get any help, don't have insurance. No one's coming to help them anytime soon. And so that's really the kind of people we look for."
Thousands were without power in Washington County Tuesday morning.
