Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea have been speaking to the American media about their JBJ Soul Kitchen restaurants.
They established the eateries to help provide quality meals to homeless and hungry people.
Diners who visit are asked to pay a suggested donation that will cover their own meal plus that of another guest. If they are unable to pay for their food, they can volunteer for dishwashing duties. Nearly all of the food served at the chain is donated.
John Bon Jovi told CBS Sunday Morning that while his main passion is music, providing food to people in need gives him a sense of fulfilment.
“I have left here…after a long night of volunteering and said, ‘That makes you feel the same kind of good.’…And that’s what I say, the way to feel good is to do good. You know? Find your good, and do it.”
There currently are two branches in New Jersey. And, according to the Asbury Park Press , a third restaurant is set to open its doors in January on a university campus in Newark, New Jersey.
