Who is Marc Sparks? A Philanthropist

Posted by Marc A. Sparks in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Aug 07, 2008

As a successful entrepreneur, Marc Sparks has gone by many titles and been called many names.  The most important and proudest name is that of philanthropist.  Among his many entrepreneurial endeavors, Sparks is also very actively involved in several charitable non-profit organizations. However, the one nearest  and dearest to his heart  for almost 20 years is the Samaritan Inn of McKinney. 

The Samaritan Inn is a non-profit organization, which is the only homeless shelter in Collin County, Texas. Established in 1984, The Samaritan Inn has provided millions of meals and has helped thousands of homeless people regain their independence with comprehensive programs and the help of caring individuals and corporations. Sparks sits on the Finance Advisory Board and has been integral in bolstering both financial aid and long-term volunteers for The Inn, allowing the facility to assist an even larger demographic of homeless in North Texas. Marc Sparks believes that most people are only two paychecks away from poverty, and that everyone needs help at some point in their lives. “The need for The Samaritan Inn is intense, failure of this homeless shelter simply is not an option. We have now built a thrift store, Friends of the Inn, in hopes and prayers, that it will provide an income for the Inn” Sparks states.
