Mr.
Mathis' work with the community started in 1990, when he became tired of
watching his community, Tiffany Pines, become filled with drugs and other
criminal activities. Understanding that something positive had to be
done, with the help of his wife, Ann Mathis, he formed the Community
Outreach Center with all of the programs listed here on this web site.
He became involved with the neighborhood kids, touching their lives not only
with the hundreds of bikes he gives to them yearly, but also, by giving them
his personal time and becoming a role model and father figure.
Ann
Mathis was born in South Carolina. After graduating from high school,
she moved to Washington, DC where she met and married Moses Mathis.

FTCC. With certification as a dental assistant, she worked as a dental
assistant at the Health Department and the VA Medical Center until July of
