The 7th Annual Mistletoe Rock Radiothon, hosted by 107.1 The Boss, brought the community together for a day of live broadcasts, heartwarming stories, and generous donations to benefit JBJ Soul Kitchen. The event featured live broadcasts from Freehold Raceway Mall and JBJ Soul Kitchen locations in Red Bank and Toms River, with interviews from Jon Bon Jovi, Dorothea Bongiovi, volunteers, and patrons. Donors had the chance to contribute in-person, through phone banks, or online, while bidding on unique auction items like autographed memorabilia and exclusive experiences.

The radiothon highlighted the incredible spirit of generosity and the impact of JBJ Soul Kitchen’s mission to serve healthy three-course meals to those facing food insecurity.

What an amazing day! Thanks to the generosity of so many, we raised $56,252 during this year’s radiothon. These donations will help provide over 2,800 meals to those who need them most. We are beyond grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported us in any way. With the help of 107.1 The Boss, JBJ Soul Kitchen as the beneficiary for the second year, we’ve raised $128,483 to further our mission.

“I want to thank the wonderful staff of 107.1 The Boss and our sponsors. Our radiothon is a powerful testament to the generosity and spirit of community that defines JBJ Soul Kitchen. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share the work of our small but mighty organization, and the impact we have in our community even as we see our in-need population increase, many of whom work, but are unable to make ends meet,” said Dorothea Bongiovi, Founder of JBJ Soul Kitchen.

Thanks to you, we can continue offering a safe space where people can enjoy a warm meal and the company of others. Your support truly makes a difference.
