These citizens formed the Jones County Community Foundation. The Board of Advisors all live or work in Jones County and serve as volunteers, so they are familiar with the community&#8217;s needs. Current members include: Vic Bryan (president), Allen Bender (vice-president), Ivy Reid (secretary\/Treasurer), Dan Ryan (grant chair), Chris Henderson, (immediate past president), Eloise S. Body, Ramona S. Gonzalez, Jennifer Jefferson, Charley Jones, III, Ted Kahlert, Elwood Morris and Gloria Wiggins.
