Staker Parsons


At Staker Parsons, laying asphalt and cement for public and private roads is not the only thing that they are known for. Among other things, Staker Parsons has a hand in helping the community and teaching the children through educational programs. On their website, they have a great story about their dedication to helping the community. Here are some experts from that article found at http://www.stakerparson.com/community/index.cfm?id=14:


Community and Education


"The family of employees at Staker Parson Companies recognizes their responsibility to help build the foundation of the communities where they live and work. Employees are encouraged to be involved in community and volunteer activities and the company supports many worthy causes including: the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, the American Heart Association, Food Banks, the Boy Scouts of America, The Road Home, Sub 4 Santa, and assisted living centers.

The company hosts several blood drives each year at its various locations and encourages employees to participate. The company and its founders provided significant resources to help establish the Parson Construction Management Program at Weber State University where more than two hundred students receive professional training. Employees also actively support the Utah LTAP Construction Career Days where 7-12 graders spend a day learning about the construction and trades industry."
