Jeffcott-Jones Family Fund After enjoying the Outer Banks and creating many happy memories here with family and friends for decades, Rick and Mary Ann Jones retired and moved to Kill Devil Hills in 2010. “We love the activities, environment, and the sense of community found in OBX,” Rick wrote. “Since moving here, we have volunteered and helped a wide variety of causes, from storm recoveries to ‘the least of our brethren’ found even here in paradise.” In 2020 they established the Jeffcott-Jones Family Fund to honor their parents, Jeff and Lois Jeffcott and Maurice and Micky Jones, and to provide a source of enduring aid for the Outer Banks. The Joneses plan to use grants from their fund to expand their support for local people and places that need care, protection, and extra help. “We hope that our family’s future generations will contribute to our fund, continuing the legacy of OBX neighbors banding together to help families, friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff and Lois Jeffcott, 1951 and one another in times of trouble and need.” 3 2020 Donor-Advised Grants $186,744

Helen also started Food For Thought, the all-volunteer nonprofit that believes ‘kids can’t learn if they’re hungry.’ Helen realized Helen, a single mother, had applied for a job at Merrill Lynch in that some Dare County kids were going hungry, especially during Ashland, Kentucky. Recently divorced, Helen was in search of a the long off-season, and received inspiration to act through a promising position that would help her meet the needs of her four scripture verse from the book of John, when Jesus said to Simon growing children.

8 Grant Spotlight

Oysters benefit our local waterways by providing filtration and habitat for a diverse collection of aquatic animals, including flounder, shrimp, and blue crabs. And they’re quite tasty, too! NC Coastal Federation received a Community Foundation grant to expand its Restaurant-To-Reef oyster shell recycling program on the Outer Banks. Our grant is being used to establish three permanent oyster shell recycling sites. NC Coastal Federation volunteers collect oyster shells from participating restaurants; anyone can participate by dropping off their oyster shells at sites in Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, and Wanchese. The shells will be used in shoreline and offshore reef restoration in Dare and Hyde counties. There’s already a two-acre reef in Wysocking Bay in Hyde County that was built using oyster shells collected and recycled by local Outer Since 2009, OBX Room In The Inn (RITI) has Banks restaurants, oyster roasts, and volunteers through collaborated with local churches to provide desperately the Restaurant-To-Reef program. needed shelter and freshly cooked meals for hundreds of homeless men and women during our cold winter months. 2020 saw growing need, a new housing facility, and additional plans to help clients move toward independence. COVID-19 safety protocols were added to RITI’s standard expectations for clients and volunteers; the pandemic’s stressors contributed to their busiest season ever. A 2020 Community Foundation grant paid for shelter, guest transportation, and a peer support resident. One guest said of the program, “It’s given me safety and security to press on and fight for the future I’m worthy of. I could be dead or lost in a hopeless depression, where the motivation to live wouldn’t exist. This place took that road away and paved a new one for me.”

Gardens are great tools for learning. The Peace Garden Project uses gardens, gardening, and access to fresh fruits and vegetables to bring neighbors together, address wellness for individuals and families, and break down barriers around race, age, socio-economics, religion, and more. Their summer Youth Leadership Institute partners Duke University master’s students with local youth for mentoring and leadership skills training. The Peace Garden Project was awarded a 2020 Community Foundation grant to purchase hydroponic growing systems that will expand gardening education opportunities, grow more produce, and engage more youth.
