I want to thank Tessa Caruso, Social Media Coordinator, for reaching out to me on this special night with the folks at the JBJ Soul Kitchen.

What is the JBJ Soul Kitchen?

"JBJ Soul Kitchen is a non-profit Community Restaurant, run by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, that serves paying and in-need customers."

What if I am unable to make a donation?

"For those who are unable to make a donation for their meal, we invite you to come in, enjoy a meal and learn how you can be part of the JBJ Soul Kitchen community by volunteering. Volunteering with us may lead to job training in the hospitality industry. Please come to the restaurant during our hours of operation or email us at info@jbjsoulkitchen.org. We will always have an opportunity open for you."

How can I make a difference?

"We encourage our customers to effect change by making a suggested donation for their meal. JBJ Soul Kitchen offers a Pay It Forward Program where each additional $20 donation provides meals for those who are unable to donate."

How else can I support JBJ Soul Kitchen?

"If you are unable to visit the restaurant we welcome your tax-deductible donation to support us in our unique mission to provide healthy, organic and locally-grown food to our neighbors in need. Make a tax-deductible donation here."

Additionally "The B.E.A.T. Center stands for Bringing Everyone All Together, and is a hub for community services that end the cycle of food insecurity. Located in Toms River, The B.E.A.T. Center is a partnership of Fulfill (formerly The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties), the Peoples Pantry and the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen."
