Bon Jovi says that with one-in-five households living at, or below, the poverty line and when one-in-six Americans is food insecure, this is a restaurant "whose time has come."
JBJ Soul Kitchen serves meals to people who have earned them through volunteering at the restaurant or at other local charities, such as the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. Bon Jovi says the restaurant has been built "by the community for the community".
