Soul Kitchen Serves as Inspiration

Another feel-good story.  I love it when people out there take GOOD things and replicate them.  Kinda restores a bit of my faith in humanity.

Central Jersey has an article on a community dinner that was served in Princeton, at "One Table Café" at Trinity Church.

”In April 2010 we went to Red Bank and met with Dorothea Bon Jovi, wife of John Bon Jovi and head of the Soul Foundation. They had started a venue called Soul Kitchen in Red Bank that is currently in operation,” said Meg Novins Hanington, a member of the outreach committee who helped organize the dinner. “They inspired us to keep going and flesh out how this could work in Princeton.”

With a pay-what-you-can philosophy, empty envelopes were passed out at the end of the evening. Organizers declined to say how much was raised by the dinner, but the amount “greatly exceeded their expectations.”

Additional community dinners will be held on Feb. 18 and March 18, reservations are required and can be made by calling (609) 613-6950.

If you can't pay back a kindness, pay it forward.

Great message.

Pass it on.
