Rolling out spoke with Jones to get insight into the work of the foundation.
What are your responsibilities at Feed the Streetz?
I am the founder of the organization. The leadership role I have in the foundation is to make sure we as an organization stay on a positive path as far as our mission of helping those less fortunate. [I also manage] the day-to-day activities of the foundation.
What is your commitment to the community?
My commitment to the community is to one day end poverty for all. It may sound crazy to others, but it’s a huge goal and mission that I have committed myself to. One day, with God’s help, I am going to achieve that goal. My other commitment is to help decrease violence in the community. I want young people around my age, in their 20s and even younger, to have more awareness of poverty and beating the system and not get caught up in it. It’s easy to get caught in it, but hard to get out.
