Though it’s a collaboration with Bon Jovi’s foundation don’t expect to see the philanthropic rocker and owner of the defunct Philadelphia Soul arena football team taking orders and delivering food. Markiewicz hasn’t had any interaction with him since the idea took roots. Besides, the Middletown resident is going on tour next month in support of his new record.
Seating at the Soul Kitchen is by reservation only and is open most Friday nights. This week’s menu includes French onion soup, salad, beef stew and roasted chicken. To make a reservation, call 732-291-7232. Alcohol is not allowed.

This is a old article and it is not even held at St. Anthony's anymore, where Ed Markiewicz still runs the food pantry, that was just a pilot program. It is now with Lunch Break, which is associated with Parker Family Healthcare. The Soul Kitchen is not open everyday due to they are still looking for a permanent place. The share with space with Lunch Break currently.
Also Jon and his entire family do lots of local charity work (yes physically working) and make large donations that never make the press or have photographers at it.
I'm local and work with many of the same charities.
Maybe some of the negative people should get out from behind their keyboards and volunteer it really puts life in perspective.
This thread reminds me why I don't read Dry County that much....
