Jon Bon Jovi Making A Real Difference With BEAT Center

I was lucky enough to be at the BEAT Center press conference and witness Jon Bon Jovi speak passionately from the heart about this project.

BEAT stands for 'bringing everyone all together' and that's literally what it does to help keep people fed in our community. The facility will house a satellite branch of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties as well as a new JBJ Soul Kitchen and the People's Pantry. Laurie Cataldo did a great job giving you all the details.

I just wanted to share with you the sincerity Jon and his wife Dorothea have for this project and all the projects they get behind to help those in need in our community. They really roll up there sleeves and get involved and I think that is awesome. this is going to make a huge difference for the community.

We'll keep you updated as the opening of this incredibly important facility nears, and tell you how you can get involved as well. I have already pledged to volunteer at this wonderful place. Maybe you can, too. Visit the JBJ Soul Kitchen website, or the FoodBank of Monmouth Counties website or the People's Pantry Facebook page.
