Cartise Jones

Member, Board of Directors

​

Cartise fell in love with being of service when he was a young man in Chicago. Inspired at a church summer outreach, He quickly developed a deep passion for charitable work while feeding the homeless and assisting them with locating housing in the community. This resolve stuck with him through college, leading him to get his BA and become a substance abuse counselor, CADC. Cartise held Recovery Boss and Employee of the month while employed as a substance abuse counselor. He also served on the Committee for Quad Cities Youth Conference, Tobacco Free QC Coalition, and volunteered as a coach for Dads Club.

Cartise dedicated his time with Rock Church of Atlanta outreach feeding and clothing the less fortunate. His interest is spending time with his family, basketball, music, reading, and exercise. Cartise's favorite quote is “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy” - MLK. His heroes growing up were Harold Washington and Malcolm X.

He serves as a board member at HOH Ministries, where he believes the best way to define who you are is to lose yourself in the service of others. Cartise is happy spending his days positively changing the Quad Cities, one person at a time.
