History

Operation Resources, Inc.
- honoring -
Willie, Sr. and Ludell Mathis
The Inspiration:

My parents, Willie Mathis Sr. (born on February 21, 1903) and Ludell Mathis (born on November 18, 1905) of West Point, Mississippi, married on April 20, 1924. For sixty-five years they shared a life full of challenges and memories. In spite of having no formal education, Willie and Ludell were wise, courageous, and more than willing to share their thoughts in order to help others in need.

In 1944 the Mathis family moved north to Grand Rapids, Michigan, in search of educational opportunities for the children and employment. Willie secured a job with the C&O Railroad in 1944 and worked there until he retired. Ludell stayed at home with the children.

Along with helping families make the transition from Mississippi to Grand Rapids, Willie and Ludell dedicated themselves to educating their children to prepare them for the challenges they would face in life. Willie had an intense desire and appreciation for education. I remember telling my father that when he died I would purchase the biggest tombstone for him. He told me that tombstones were for the dead, but if he trained and educated his children he would have living tombstones for years to come.

They left this world with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who are successful as physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, and business professionals. Though they have both passed on, Operation Resources, Inc. will ensure that their vision lives on.

Welcome!

Hello everyone, this is the official Operation Resources, Inc. blog.

For those of you that are new or perhaps do not know what we do around here, hopefully this will clear things up.

First off,

What is Operations Resources?

Operation Resources, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3),tax-exempt organization founded in 1993 to help low-income students attend an approved college or university. In the last fifteen years Operation Resources, Inc. has awarded over $60,000 in scholarships to 90 disadvantaged students and successfully informed the community with health and education awareness programs.

We believe that every student deserves to have a proper education regardless of his perceived race or financial means. But our society does not allow every student that chance. As long as we are divided into Black and White, Rich and Poor, Right and Left, we will not be able to over come the economic and educational short falls that plague our modern world. Operation Resources, Inc. and its Scholarship Fund were founded to help correct these ills.

But Operation Resources, Inc. cannot do this by itself. We rely on charitable donations from our community to help fund our scholarships. However, donations are not enough. To continually fund Operation Resources, Inc. Scholarships and fund our health and educational awareness programs, we also sell really cool, high quality products, each emblazoned with our unique unity logo.
