'What we realize is that there were kids in colleges that were hungry,' Jon Bon Jovi said
“Now what we realize is that there were kids in colleges that were hungry,” he added. “And this was a — logical progression. And Rutgers really embraced the concept.”
“People had this romanticized version of the starving student. It’s not as romantic as we would like to think it is,” said Dorthea. The Rutgers location of the Soul Kitchen will have students, faculty, staff and community members pay $12 or use a meal swipe to enter the establishment. They can also volunteer at the restaurant to earn meals, or even donate money on top of the cost of their own food in order to help cover the price of a meal for someone else.
At the other Soul Kitchen locations located in Red Bank and Toms River, diners of all socioeconomic backgrounds sit together at communal tables, as the restaurant serves both paying and non-paying customers. The communal dining set-up is said to help bring together people who might never have met otherwise.
JBJ Soul Kitchen will also expand upon the school’s existing food pantry, which is adjacent to the restaurant. According to Cantor, last semester alone, the pantry served 30 tons of food.
