A Special Thank You & A Look Back At 2021

Wow…Our Anniversary year seemed to have flown right past us!

We are so proud and grateful for all that we achieved in 2021 to support our mission.

We want to especially thank our JBJ Soul Kitchen Staff and Volunteers who have gone above and beyond to support our in-need community in addition to welcoming back faces both old and new into our restaurants.

Another special thank you goes out to all our partners and generous donors who supported and helped us fulfill our mission throughout our
5-10-15 Year Anniversary Celebration!

It has been so rewarding to relive all the wonderful moments
and accomplishments over the last 15 years.

Thank you for your continued support.
We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and Happy New Year!
Cheers to 2022 and beyond!

JBJ Soul Kitchens

As we came out of one of our most challenging years yet and entered our Anniversary Year, we had a brighter outlook and many goals in mind for 2021. We were so glad to bring back in-person events including our Golf Outing, Cooking Demos, as well as hosting lunches and dinners for our community partners. Our team looks forward to all that 2022 will bring!

Our Partnerships, Programs And Community Events

Meal Delivery Program

We are so grateful to our friends and community partner, Fulfill and Soup Kitchen 411, along with FeedNJ for their support of local restaurants like ours, while bringing  people together to fight food insecurity.

Combined, our JBJ Soul Kitchen restaurants were able to prepare over 14,000 freshly cooked meals to provide in-need local families, individuals, and community organizations throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

We are proud to serve these great meals to help those struggling with food insecurity during this pandemic. Going hungry shouldn’t be one of the side effects of being impacted by Covid-19.

Veterans Center of Hoboken

American Legion Post 107 held a groundbreaking ceremony on December 7th for its Veterans Center of Hoboken, a vital project to address the issue of homeless veterans by  creating housing and delivering services for veterans in need, including those who have been living on the streets.

The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation had the honor to provide a grant of $100,000 to American Legion Post 107 Veterans Center of Hoboken, as they  expand on their mission which is very close to the heart of the Foundation.

The Center will also serve the growing membership of Post 107 and provide needed meeting and event space for the Hoboken area.

JBJ Soul Foundation had a lot to celebrate in 2021! The 15th Anniversary of Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which through community partnerships has provided grant funding for almost 1,000 units of affordable and supportive housing, the 10th Anniversary of 
JBJ Soul Kitchen Red Bank and the 5th Anniversary of JBJ Soul Kitchen Toms River.

Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth NPHY

On Wednesday, November 18, 2021, Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY)  announced the culmination of its Housing Expansion Campaign.

Thanks to lead investments from Las Vegas Sands and a successful community matching grant of $100,000 from the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, NPHY was able to purchase a 15-bed housing property that increases its housing stock by 150 percent and provides an  additional 5,475 nights per year to keep youth experiencing homelessness safe and off the streets.

Our team was thrilled to bring back our Mulligans for Meals Golf Outing in 2021!
We are so grateful to our sponsors and golfers who made this day so memorable.

The weather was perfect for an enjoyable and exciting day at Colts Neck Golf Club.
