Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Homeless & Housing, Nutrition, Soup Kitchens
Mission: Since 2006, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation has provided solutions and opportunity for families and individuals in economic despair. The organization assists in establishing programs that provide food and affordable housing for those affected by poverty and homelessness, while supporting social services and job-training programs. The Soul Foundation has helped provide over 440 units of affordable housing and shelter for hundreds of people who were formerly homeless or of low-income. In October 2011, the Foundation expanded by opening the JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, NJ to address issues of food insecurity. The community kitchen serves nutritious, culinary dishes in a restaurant atmosphere where diners contribute either volunteer hours or a minimum donation for their meals. In May 2016, the Foundation opened a second JBJ Soul Kitchen in Toms River, NJ. As the Foundation continues to expand, the goal is to assist with rebuilding pride in one's self and one's community – one SOUL at a time.
