Kendall Jones With MUST Ministries

Intro: [00:00:07] Broadcasting live from the Business RadioX Studios in Woodstock, Georgia. It’s time for Cherokee Business Radio. Now here’s your host.

Stone Payton: [00:00:23] Well, welcome to Cherokee Business Radio and the first the inaugural the one right out of the box of our Cherokee CARES series. And I cannot think of a better way to kick this thing off than welcoming to the broadcast community liaison for Cherokee with must ministries. Mr. Kendall Jones. Good morning, sir.

Kendall Jones: [00:00:45] Good morning,

Stone Payton: [00:00:46] I’m quite sincere in that I can’t think of a better way to kick this series off than to have a conversation with you. You and I have actually had a chance to visit on a couple of occasions because we’ve done a couple of things connected to to your work and you are you really are a liaison. You’re you are in the business community, in the community, in general, you. You must love the work. But before we dove into any of the specifics, can you just give our listeners a bit of a primer like an overview mission purpose of most ministries?

Kendall Jones: [00:01:24] Sure. The the mission statement for us is serving our neighbors in the transforming lives and communities in response to Christ call. So the idea is to provide services and provide hope. But it’s also transformation. You know, if somebody comes in and gets food and they leave and that’s all we’ve done for them, we haven’t made a lasting difference. So we’ve discovered things like food and clothing are just a symptom of a more underlying cause. And so our hope is to get to the underlying cause so that when people leave our services, they are in a different place than when they came in.

Stone Payton: [00:01:55] So this this acronym, must I usually see it, maybe I always see it in all caps, is it? Is that the right word acronym? Does it stand for something it does?

Kendall Jones: [00:02:04] Well, that’s that’s one of my trivia questions when I’m out there speaking publicly. Does anybody know? And about one person every once in a while knows, you know, must started 50 years ago. And so it started out as Methodist United for Service and Training because it started out in the Methodist Church down in Cobb County. Now, over the years, we, you know, we diversified our partners. We have a lot more people helping us and working together. So now it stands for ministries, united for service and training.

Stone Payton: [00:02:27] That was clever. That was good. That was a good shift. It was

Kendall Jones: [00:02:29] Worked out.

Stone Payton: [00:02:31] So how does one find themselves in this role? Tell us a little bit about your back story, man.

Kendall Jones: [00:02:38] Well, it’s funny. I’ve been with us for 11 years, and so I’m in my fifth position with must tell people I’m either moving up the organization or can’t hold a steady job. So that’s kind of the story with must. But I actually started out as a middle school band director and my degrees are music, and so did that for 18 years and was doing church music the whole time I was doing that. And then I went 12 years. I was a full time musician, music at a church, and then I had opportunity to go to the must 11 years ago. And so I started out doing the summer lunch coordinator. That’s a program when I get a chance to talk about later. But then the volunteer coordinator position came up and I said, Well, what qualifications do I have? I’m not in social services. I have a degree in social service, but I look back, you know, for 18 years, teaching banned them for 12 years to in church choirs here, one of those people to volunteer. Yeah. And so I had 30 years of working with volunteers. And so, you know, the Lord came prepared from that role, you know, even though I didn’t have any training in it. And then, you know, moved from volunteer coordinator, up to program director, ran our Cherokee facility for a while and then a couple of years ago, moved to the community liaison. So it’s like I say, I do love what I do as as my my kids used to say, Dad, do you have to talk to everybody?

Stone Payton: [00:03:44] But you can’t go to the grocery store or the restaurant without somebody stopping you, right? You’re that guy.

Kendall Jones: [00:03:48] Exactly. And that guy. So but that’s the joy about it, you know, because being the grocery store and connect somebody to a need or a volunteer opportunity, whatever. That’s that’s what you hope to be able to do.

Stone Payton: [00:04:01] So you guys have I saw this, I saw this word in on Facebook, and I think I’m using it properly. A plethora, a whole bunch of programs, things, services, and I don’t expect you to list all of them. But can you share, you know, a few of them just to give us some context for the depth and breadth of the work?

Kendall Jones: [00:04:20] Just to make the list, we do, you know, food, clothing, shelter, financial assistance, employment assistance, health care and transportation. Wow. And so just give you an example, you know, people know that much does food and clothes, and we do so for example, food, you know, fiscal year twenty one, we distributed 2.7 million pounds of food. And so, you know, each day we’re distributing three point three tons of food a day and Cherokee that relates to we give out about a ton and a half a week at our Cherokee office. And so, you know, people say food and know it. But the volume of that and so clothing, you know, like our Cherokee office, will give out about 7000 articles of clothing a month. But in addition to that, we have sheets and we have towels and wash clothes and all those things that also go along that are so expensive that people can’t afford to get. So there’s so much more to it than the shelter. We actually have seven different shelter programs. You know anything from an emergency shelter for people who are coming in off the street. We have what’s called a permanent, supportive housing program for people who’ve been chronically homeless because of a disability.

Kendall Jones: [00:05:23] We actually own property in Cherokee. We own two duplexes and four townhomes. And then we also lease another 14 years or so. We got 40 people in that program and then the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. We heard about that from the federal government. You know, we’ve distribute over $5 million and help thousands of people avoid being evicted. And so there’s just, you know, for each thing we do when I’m out in public, people invariably say, Wow, I didn’t know, must did that. So that’s that’s really the cool part is because we know what the basics are. But then it just I think the thing that I like about us is that when they see a need, they figure out a way to meet it. You know, in Cherokee, we didn’t have a housing program five years ago when I was program director. You know, like if somebody came in and was homeless, we said, well, must have a shelter. Twenty two hours away, start walking. That’s that was the only option we could offer them. Yeah. And so now we’ve got a housing program. We’ve got a motel voucher program where people can we can stay in the motel for up to 30 days while they work with the case manager who digs into permanent housing.

Kendall Jones: [00:06:22] We’ve got a bridge program that people can need if they need more than 30 days to get stable. They can be in an apartment for up to 90 days. We can send people down to our shelter in Marietta. We just, you know, we have options because while they’ve always said is, I don’t want to sit across the table from a client who’s in need and say, I got nothing for you. So most says, OK, we don’t have this. How can we fix this? You know, transportation is a huge issue in Cherokee County. Oh, yeah. So, you know, we’ve got Uber cards and gas cards and bus passes. And so we even have we even have money now for. I’m in the area where if somebody gets a job interview, we can transport them to the job interview, and if they get the job, we can pay their transportation up to two weeks until they get their first paycheck and then can start paying for transportation themselves. Because why have somebody not be able to take a job so they can have employment because they can’t get their?

Stone Payton: [00:07:11] The logistics, it’s tough for me to even wrap my mind around the logistics, the leadership, the organization, the the discipline and rigor that must be required to pull this off consistently in any situation, let alone with and through volunteers. Surely leading volunteers is a different animal than leading someone who gets a paycheck. A. Is that accurate and b, can you speak to that a little bit?

Kendall Jones: [00:07:41] It is accurate. I mean, what amazes me is before the pandemic, must had about 17000 volunteers every year. I don’t know what the number is now, but we’ve had a lot of, you know, for our day services, you know, we’re open 10 to two during the day. And for that, you know, we have mostly retirees because that’s the people who are available during that time frame. And so we depend on those volunteers. We’re very much a volunteer driven organization. We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers and and they. But then you have, you know, with if they have to be out, you can’t say, I’m going to dock your pay, right? Right. God bless you. Thank you. My philosophy always and when I was volunteer coordinator was I just thanked him for the time. They would apologize and say, I’m so sorry. I came here and said, I’m just thankful for the time you are here and you kind of feel like the little Dutch boy, you know, plug in the holes of the night. Yeah, right, right. Ok. We think we have this covered. And but then then you have we would have people, we’d have utility infielder, so to speak. You know, we have people who we could call them and say, Hey, we have a hole in the in the food pantry that can come in. So you kind of build up this network of of on call people so that when people have to be out, you can you can plug them in.

Stone Payton: [00:08:49] So I can tell I can see in your eyes, our listeners can hear it in your voice. You clearly have a passion for this, for this mission and thoroughly enjoy the work. What are some of the things that you find the most rewarding?

Kendall Jones: [00:09:03] You know, I’m in a role now where I’m in a different setting, but especially when I was programing director and I was the person at that time. We didn’t have a case manager for housing, so I was the case manager. And so I sat across the desk every day from people that were in need and to be able to see, you know, how people walk in and you talk about seeing in your eyes, you see the hopelessness in somebody’s eyes when they walk in and then to see them walk out with hope. There’s nothing better than that to see that they walked out and, you know, are all their problems solved in 30 minutes? No. But do they can they see a path now? Yes. And that’s rewarding is to know that for that one person, you know, sometimes the thing that you do for them, it might not even be the food or clothing. It’s just you actually listen to them. Yeah. And you let them tell their story and somebody actually cared about them because they don’t have that in their life very much. And so there’s there’s ways to you’ve made a difference in somebody’s life, whether they might not walk out into and they have a job, they have an apartment, they have a car, they’re ready to roll. But at least they can see that maybe there’s a glimmer of a possibility that they can get there.

Stone Payton: [00:10:09] Yeah, that does have to feel really good. Well, I can tell you from my own experience, 15 plus years now being part of the Business RadioX network, our tribe, the folks who are attracted to our work, they’re very relationship oriented. They’re a little quicker to invest in community. They are more if there is a profile of the giver, someone to, you know, to try to help their fellow person. Our tribe that that really does describe them. What? I’m not sure many of us and I feel proud to count myself as part of that tribe. What? I’m not sure that we clearly understand or remember or maybe haven’t even thought of is and we talked about this a little bit before we came on air the genuine economic benefit of social services. Talk about that a little bit.

Kendall Jones: [00:11:01] Oh, don’t turn me loose now. Well, the first thing is like, I talked about our employment services department. Obviously, we’re trying to help people find jobs or a lot of times trying to help people find better jobs because, you know, they may be making the wage, but it’s not a living wage. Mm hmm. So like in the last year, you know, most helped about three hundred and sixty people find employment, either, you know, initial employment or better employment. That translated to eight point eight million dollars in wages back in the community. And so those people are now paying taxes. You know, they are going to the grocery store and buying things. They’re going to Walmart and buying things. They’re, you know, they are contributing to the economy, right? Simply because we were able to rather than the service of finding a job. And then the bigger picture and like, say, this is a conversation I’m having out in the community a lot. There’s about, you know, we have an affordable housing issue in our county, in every county, in the United States. I’m connected to a lot of, you know, websites and webinars and like that. And so we hear the same thing. You know, just give you an example, you know, the four people who are at 30 percent of army, which is an average median income. Ok, so that’s about twenty five thousand Cherokee County for every 100 households at that, that income level. There’s only twenty nine available and affordable units of housing. And seventy seven percent of those people are severely cost burden, where they’re paying more than 50 percent of their income towards housing. Even when you get up to 40 to 60 percent of FEMA, which you think, well, that’s a pretty good wage, you know, you know, you got your admins and you got your ready, you know, radiology techs and you guys, I

Stone Payton: [00:12:30] Thought, you’re going to say, radio host.

Kendall Jones: [00:12:33] No, no, you’re 110 percent. I am, I’m sure. But even at that, there’s only 55 available on affordable units. So. So what happens is people end up going and living in other counties. I was telling the business owner last week, and a lot of their employees are going up to Pickens because they can only they can’t afford to live in Cherokee County. But what happens is, you know, as they’re driving to work 30 minutes to Cherokee to go to the job, they’re passing the same sort of business in Pickens. It’s 10 minutes away from their house. Right. And so also now you know why? Why? Why am I driving 30 minutes to Cherokee when I can go ten minutes and work in Pickens? And so, you know, there’s you know, you have people moving outside of the county and employers having a hard time finding people to work. But the bigger picture is, you know, you hear the term affordable housing sometimes and people sometimes have a buzz word about that. They they see they see the projects down in Atlanta. But the affordable housing is just a place that people can afford to live. And so, you know, the state of Rhode Island, for example, did a did an investment into affordable housing. They built $50 million in the building houses that people could afford so they could live near their work or what they didn’t anticipate generate $800 million worth of economic activity.

Stone Payton: [00:13:41] Talk about your ROIC.

Kendall Jones: [00:13:43] Yeah, sixteen to one. Wow. So, you know, as part of that, that generated six thousand one hundred jobs and about three hundred million of income back into the economy. So, you know, it’s not an economic drain. Some people think affordable housing. All that’s going to take my property values is going to, you know, it’s going to be a drain on services, but it’s actually is actually not. It actually enhances because people can afford to live and work in the community, you know, live in the community where they can work.

Stone Payton: [00:14:10] So walk us through, if you would, a day in the life of Kendall Jones. What is your day, your week, your month look like?

Kendall Jones: [00:14:19] Well, that’s the thing I love about it is that it’s different every day. In fact, you know, even when I was program director, I would say, you know, I’ll have a scheduler, you know, for the day. But then I have what I call the Ministry of Interruptions. You know, I’ve got my schedule, which is which is awesome because, you know, the other way of doing that is divine appointments, you know? You know, for example, I’m a, you know, I’ve got involved in the Chamber of Commerce. I go to a lot of Chamber of Commerce events because of networking. I am on four boards and two steering committees and so connected in that way. And so I’ve got meetings for that. A lot of times it’s just, you know, but then the networking like, I went to a networking event for the chamber last week and there was at the day care center, a new day care center. Well, they were so excited that I was there. And, you know, they say, Well, how how can we partner, you know, they might, because child care obviously is a great need for people that we serve. And you’ve got a single mom trying to get a job.

Kendall Jones: [00:15:17] How is she going to able to work without talk here? And so we had a conversation about what that might look like, how we might work together. So it just varies from day to day. But then while I’m out there, you know, sometimes it’s funny. When I was program director, I told you, you know, as case manager for a lot of people and said, I still get those emails from the people. We have new case managers. We actually have three case managers now, and they they take care of our housing, our financial assistance. But the clients will reach out to me. And so I will still try to connect them. And so it’s just never changing. And some people say, Hey, I’d like to do something from us or do you know about the resource for this? Or, you know, the greatest joy that I have now is to be in a group. And I hear a need. I say, Hey, I just talked to somebody that might be fit, that need. And so, you know, to quote my my friend Laura Mix, and I’m connecting the dots all the time.

Stone Payton: [00:16:05] Well, I got to tell you those of you in the listening audience. Kendall Jones is the epitome. He is the paragon of virtue. He is the picture in the dictionary. When you talk about connecting people, you are that guy for the whole county. I mean, you are.

Kendall Jones: [00:16:19] Well, it’s a role that it’s funny. You know, people will say, I’ve done a lot of research and study in the area of housing and affordable housing and spent a lot of time talking to county officials and city officials and all that. So it’s funny in some of our groups. Let’s say you’re the you’re the expert on housing. I say I’m not an expert. You know, I told you my music background. I tell people, I’m just a trumpet player trying to help people. I mean, I’m an expert, but

Stone Payton: [00:16:42] I have no one,

Kendall Jones: [00:16:43] No more, exactly. But I have a passion for it because I’ve sat across the desk from those people who who need it. And, you know, I can’t just sit there and go to bed at night, you know, every time I lay my head down at night. And these days, when it’s 20 degrees, I know somebody out there who’s sleeping in it. Yeah. And so, you know, that motivates me to do whatever I can do to connect people. And the cool part is, is that what Musk does a lot of time is be the hands and feet for people. They they want to do something for people to help, but they’re not quite sure how to do it. So must is that it gives them that opportunity to realize that the passion they have in their heart helps somebody. So that’s that’s a wonderful connection to to connect people to the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.

Stone Payton: [00:17:26] Well, that’s an excellent point and actually kind of relates to my next question. Specifically, I was going to ask what can the small business community? And I know there’s other constituencies, but there’s quite a few of us that are that are blessed, you know, would make a comfortable living. We enjoy this marvelous community of ours. What are some things that the Business RadioX is, you know, the Dewey Cheatham and how law firm or, you know, like just look, I saw that on some comedy, but you know, just just the local business, folks. These are people in my experience that have a good heart, but to your point, may not really know, you know, what’s the best way to plug in and provide help that’s going to have some, some impact. So, yeah, talk about that a little bit more.

Kendall Jones: [00:18:12] Well, there’s so many different ways. I mean, the first thing is is that the obviously like where we’re sitting right now, we’re, you know, we’re in the studios here at the innovation spot, right? And they’ve been in business for a few years and they’ve already done three events to to benefit must. You know, they have a heart for helping people. So they did an ax throwing event. We had a lot of fun and I love that. I was terrible at it. But but we enjoyed it. And then they did. At Christmastime, they did. Lunch recalls where, you know, the admission to the lunch was a Christmas toy for our Christmas Toy Shop program. And because the cool part is, is that, you know, we put out a barrel. Anybody can put out a barrel to collect food, for example, and say, Well, what difference does that make? Well, you know, I shared earlier that in fiscal year twenty one, we just forty two point seven million pounds of food. The miracle for me is that we had two point seven million pounds to give. Yeah. And so, you know, we get some large grants, but then a lot of that comes from local businesses. So those type of things, you know, for example. And our clothes closet, we distribute used clothing, but we have a joke, says we, we accept gently used clothing, but we prefer not to accept gently used underwear. And so we’ve had businesses. Do you know an underwear and socks drop? Oh, there you go. So, you know, everything makes a difference. And you know, with the food coming in, you know, it’s like saying Chiaki, we’re distributing a ton and a half a week, so whatever comes in is going to go out.

Kendall Jones: [00:19:32] So obviously monetary donations, it cost us to do what we do. Mm hmm. And so that’s always helpful. I mean, just like just like a church or business, you know you you count on regular monthly income in order to sure to to operate. And the thing about that is is that a lot of people say, I want to give to a specific thing. I’ll give the children, I want to give the food, I want to give to whatever. And that’s awesome. But we actually serve more. They want to say, how can my gift have the greatest impact? We serve more people through our regular everyday services than we do through any special programs. I mean, we do a Christmas toy shop where you know this. This past December, fifty seven hundred kids got gifts that they wouldn’t have otherwise have gotten. You know, we do a summer lunch program where we feed five thousand two hundred kids a week in nine counties or in those seven counties for nine weeks. And so, you know, those are special programs, but we serve, you know, in fiscal year twenty one, we served over forty five thousand people with our regular services. So that’s the greatest impact. You know, it’s not it doesn’t seem as as attractive, but it’s just as important to give, you know, give financially so we can have operate just our regular operating expenses so we can open our doors every day.

Stone Payton: [00:20:41] Well, I was going to ask you about that because my instincts have been for some time now, whether it’s at church or for some good cause that that you are probably going to have a greater impact if you don’t and I don’t know what the right term is. Earmark, you know, like direct where the money goes, like this has to be spent on this or this has to be, I mean, to me, you know, like a church, you know, I think the committee, you know, they’re doing a good job and they they have the bigger picture. And I feel like I would have greater impact with my dollar if I don’t, you know, like, earmark it, is it?

Kendall Jones: [00:21:18] Exactly right. You know, a lot of times people just say for whatever the greatest need because you have like flexibility. I mean, for example, you know, we, you know, we have a motel voucher program. And then when we do our emergency night shelter, you know, anytime just below is thirty five degrees down to our Elizabeth in a night shelter. They open up the kitchen and single men can come in and stay and get out of the cold. And then for the women and children, we put them in the motel, so must before the pandemic was spending about $5000 a month on motel. We’re now spending forty thousand a month motel, so also in this need popped up. And so if you have funds to say for greatest need, you know, wherever that need is, we can apply it towards that. So it’s very helpful to have have the flexibility to do that.

Stone Payton: [00:22:01] Well, and I don’t mean to dismiss the idea. I think it’s fun and creative to do like the underwear drive or the toy things. To me, it’s a both and it is. But I wanted to bring that point out because it just makes sense to me that, you know, it’s going to go further and go exactly where it’s needed right now, right? Well, good. Well, I’m glad I asked. So here we are early. Twenty twenty two. Mm hmm. What upcoming programs, events? What are some things going on in the community over the next 90 days that we ought to let our folks know about?

Kendall Jones: [00:22:32] Well, I’ll borrow a line from WSB copyright infringement, but they always do the the three top things to know for your day. So the three top things to know from us right now. First thing is, we’re celebrating 50 years of serving our neighbors in need. So April 30th, we have our Golden Gala. And so there’ll be an opportunity for people to come and celebrate with us and, you know, business because we can sponsor a table or they can donate some auction items. You know, we’ll, you know, we will celebrate and also fundraise so that we can do what we do for 50 more years. So we have the Golden Gala coming up. The second thing is I talked about earlier, we have the our new overnight shelter down in Cobb County called Hope House. It’s called Hope House Grand, opening sometime in March. Our current Elizabeth in shelter. Seventy two beds, this shelter will be one hundred and thirty six beds. All right. And it has thirty six transitional beds. So you say, Well, what’s a transitional bed? Well, we’ve got one hundred thirty six beds for people who are in our shelter program for the 30 day program. But let’s say somebody comes in and meets one of our client intake people and they need to come into the shelter, but we don’t have any beds available. Used to be, they’d have to go back out and sleep in the tent wherever they were until we had the bed available.

Kendall Jones: [00:23:41] Now we can put them in a transitional bed until the bed opens up in the shelter and they can move in. And then also, once we open up that shelter, the emergency night shelter, the transitional beds will become the emergency warming shelter for people who aren’t in our shelter program but need to escape the cold. So that’s number two the number three. Keep your eyes out open for the must food bus. We got an Old City bus and we retrofitted it and made a mobile food pantry out of it. And so we can put up food for up to 100 families in there and you walk in there and you can get produce, you can get meat, you can get dairy, you can get frozen, you can get toiletries, you can get non-perishables. And so we take that bus to food deserts where people live, where they have access to grocery stores. We also do that to help seniors. We go to a couple of high rises down in Cobb County, where their seniors are, and then we go to the Canton Housing Authority here in Cherokee. And then there’s another location in Woodstock that will be starting to serve soon. So it’s the coolest looking bus, so keep an eye out for the most mobile pantry driving around.

Stone Payton: [00:24:42] Fun. All right. Well, again, your enthusiasm, your passion for the work. I mean, it just shines through. And I know you’re human. You’ve got to run out of juice from time to time to get beat down. I mean. And when that happens, where do you go? And I don’t necessarily mean a physical place, but where do you go to to recharge and inspiration? You know, is it riding the waves down the Gulf of Mexico? Is it, you know, meditation? But how do you recharge and kind of steel yourself to get back out there?

Kendall Jones: [00:25:17] Well, you know, there’s actually a term in our in our field called compassion fatigue. And basically, and that’s not so much, you know, you get tired of being compassionate, but you run up so much need. And sometimes there are situations where you can offer resources. You can see a clear path and sometimes it’s not so clear and you know, you’re not so sure whether they’re going to make it or not. So actually, in my position now I go check on our case managers we have now and just kind of check on the I go say, I’m checking the temperature, how are you doing? I can see where they’re stressed out or not. And so, you know, for me, you know, two things. Number one, anytime you start getting a little stressed about, you know, how are we making a difference? You remember the old starfish story, you know, pick up the starfish and throw it out there and say it made a difference to that one, right? Right. May I help everyone, but they help the one that you did. And the other part for me, just real simple. I’m a runner. I’m a very slow runner, and so I’m out running every morning. I tell people as much for my mental health as my as my physical health. Yeah, I’ve slowed down over the years, but I’m still out there and just kind of I don’t run with music. I just, you know, it’s just the breathing and the footsteps and the nature and and the people say, How do you stay so calm? And part of it is that, you know, I know who’s in control, you know, in prayer every morning. You know, it’s funny with running. You know, when I first started running, it took me six weeks before I could run the mile. So my prayers used to be Lord, help me get to the hill. Now I can pray for other people because I finally been doing it for a little longer. But that’s the way just to stay grounded and just. And by the time I get to work, I’m just I’m chill.

Stone Payton: [00:26:46] Wow. All right, before we wrap, let’s make sure that our listeners know how they can reach out and have a conversation with you or someone on your team or or get involved in some of these activities, whatever you think is appropriate, whether it’s a website and email or phone number or place. But I just want to make sure that they have a place to start learning more and see Insein about getting involved. Sure.
