Jon Bon Jovi's non profit, JBJ Soul Foundation teamed with St. Anthony of Padua to open "Soul Kitchen" to offer meals to the the indigent. Ed Markiewicz, who runs the church's food pantry said that this has gotten a phenomenal response.
Markiewicz has about 80 volunteers, and so far the restaurant has averaged about 75 people for the seven dinners held there. He says that it is more than just a place to grab a bite but "It's that type of experience where you'll sit down with different people at different stations in life and hopefully learn something."

Sweet Says ... I hope that a lot of people will be inspired as I have been with Bon Jovi's advocacy to feed the hungry. Sharing our blessings to the needy may seem simple, but doing it without anything in return or to pay it forward is nothing but noble. When I achieve one of my dreams, earning passive income, I will put up a Soul Kitchen inspired place here in the Philippines.
