Our Community

Rooted here.
Giving back.

Taking care of people has always been part of our family’s approach to business. Our relationships with schools, charities, associations, community leaders, and product partners carry that commitment into the places where we live and work.

Where We Come From

Our roots shape
how we show up.

Tom and Linda Sparks built a family business around hard work and care for the people doing it. We carry that spirit into our community work today: sharing experience, helping meet everyday needs, and creating opportunities for the next generation.

Owings Mills is home to our companies—and part of Isaac’s own story as an Owings Mills High School alumnus. Our connections here are personal.

Students & Opportunity

Learning today.
Possibilities for tomorrow.

01

Connecting the classroom to business.

Our work with Owings Mills High School extends beyond scholarships. We support business learning in marketing, sales, leadership, operations, and other areas, sharing practical experience from across our companies to help students connect classroom lessons with the working world.

We also take part in school community and career events, helping students explore the people, skills, and possibilities behind a business.

Preston Mitchum Jr. Foundation

Small words.
Lasting encouragement.

Our relationship with Preston Mitchum Jr. and the PMJ Foundation brings together a shared belief in young people and their potential.

Hunt Valley Contractors and Sparks at Play joined Fulton Bank and The Education Foundation of BCPS in bringing Positive Vibes for Kids books to 87 Little Free Library locations across Baltimore County.

Our community story also includes the Glyndon Elementary student book project, Inspiring Words from Young Minds, and support for the Foundation’s back-to-school drive.

Showing Up for Our Neighbors

Time. Resources.
A willingness to help.

Student Support Network

Supporting local students means helping with everyday needs, too. Our work includes food pickups, deliveries, and unloading for the Network’s distributions, alongside Sparks at Play’s sponsorship of A Night for the Network.

Food for local families

Our team has delivered turkeys to local elementary schools to help families share a Thanksgiving meal. It is one of the practical ways our people contribute beyond the job site.

Community in motion

Our team and families joined the 2026 Crusher Run 5K, an event supporting Construction Angels and Athletes Serving Athletes. It connects care for construction families with opportunities for people with limited mobility to take part in running events.

Listening to the Community

Start with the people
who call it home.

Our work in Sandtown with Marvin “Doc” Cheatham and community leaders reflects an approach we value: listen to residents, work alongside local advocates, and contribute practical expertise. At Easterwood/Sandtown Park & Playground, that spirit connects neighbors around welcoming spaces for play and gathering.
