Jimmy Sparks joined the Army in 1987 and served from 1987-1991 including a tour in Operation Desert Storm.

He graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 1996 and then attended Texas Tech University where he received a Master’s in Public Administration in 1998.

Did you know that a $10 donation can provide up to 30 meals for desperate people in your community? By making a donation, you are helping to ensure that hungry children in Southeast Texas are adequately nourished, that none of our senior citizens are forced to chose between medicine and food, and that every family facing a crisis can at least have the assurance of food on the table.

Your gift goes a long, long way!
