Oh, John Francis Bongiovi Jr. AKA Bon Jovi.

This is an OP that was inspired by bigtree's OP.

America has an absolute Rock Star (in more ways than one), that created a restaurant named JBJ Soul Kitchen. This is a non-profit farm to table community restaurant that feeds those in need.


Bongiovi is from New Jersey and that's where both locations are for his foundation.

I remember when MTV helped him give away his childhood home. That was in 1989.

9. Restores my faith in humanity...

... where I read of such noble deeds by those blessed with fame. Good on ya, Jon!

Now, if only the American oligarchs would follow Bon Jovi's sterling example, instead of devoting themselves to ripping off those less fortunate, and funding fascism.

Yeah, I know... in your dreams, Cupcake.

"It is a pivotal moment for the JBJ Soul Foundation to join this groundbreaking in Kensington, with partners who continue to help those experiencing street homelessness," the New Jersey musician said. "We are so proud to continue our long-time support of Project HOME in this new endeavor, which will provide much needed safe housing and impactful services to the residents of this community, and we invite you all to join us in this work."
