Neighbors
and Friends,
Welcome
to the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Wilson,
Inc.
As OIC of Wilson enters our nearly fourth decade of
operation, we are excited about the chance to share with
the global community the many successes and opportunities
we have seen, enabled and encouraged.
As I grew to know and love the visionary behind the OIC
movement, the Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sullivan, he fathered me
into my role as founder of the OIC of Wilson, which I began
in 1972. After many years, it is still an honor I hold dear
and a responsibility I hold with high and heavy weight.
As you search these pages and grow to know OIC of Wilson, I
hope our holistic approach to the needs of the individual
stands out. Our programming attempts to shatter the
foundations of poverty that plague our community.
Ultimately, we seek to continue the work of the esteemed
Dr. Sullivan, and to continue moving mountains as we “Help
Those Who Help Themselves”
Yours truly,
Howard
Jones
Founder
& President
