312 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SOCIAL SERVICES AND NONPROFIT While Ms. Mims had dreamed for a decade of founding a philanthropic organization, she was motivated to form the Mims Family Matters Foundation in January 2017, seven months before Hurricane Harvey. In that storm, several schools in low-income areas of Houston were flooded. With the help of her husband and his chief executive officer, Ms. Mims raised funds and assisted families in the region by providing them with towels, blankets and school supplies. They then duplicated the effort for families in Ms. Mims’s hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana, ensuring they had food, supplies and toys, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Looking forward, Ms. Mims intends to dedicate herself full-time to the goals of the Mims Family Matters Foundation. She attributes her success to the strong influence of her parents, John Berry and Anna “Patsy” Francis Joseph, as well as the support of her husband, Richard. Visit www.familymattersfoundation.net.
