邦乔维开了两家餐厅，让有需要的人免费享用食物
While Jon Bon Jovi is very well known for his career in music, very few are familiar with the kind things he has done to make our world a better place. In 2006, he founded The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation which aims to support community efforts to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness. One of the most prominent deeds of the foundation is the opening of JBJ Soul Kitchen, the community restaurant where people in need are not required to pay for their meals.
虽然乔恩·邦·乔维的音乐生涯众所周知，但很少有人知道他为使我们的世界变得更美好所做的事情。2006年，他创立了乔恩·邦·乔维灵魂基金会，旨在支持社区努力打破贫困和无家可归的循环。该基金会最突出的业绩之一是开设了JBJ灵魂厨房，这是一家社区餐厅，在这里，有需要的人不必为他们的餐费买单。
The first restaurant was opened in October 2011, in the Red Bank area, New Jersey. The second one opened its doors in 2016 near Toms River, an area that was greatly affected by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
第一家餐厅于2011年10月在新泽西州的红岸区开业。第二家于2016年在汤姆斯河附近开业，该地区在2012年受到飓风桑迪的严重影响。
Both restaurants aim to fight food insecurity in a dignifying way without judgment. Both paying and in-need customers are welcome. There are no prices on the menu, but those who can afford a meal are encouraged to donate $20, and those who can’t offer any payment are encouraged to volunteer at the restaurant.
两家餐厅的目标都是在不加评判的情况下，以一种高尚的方式对抗食品安全问题。欢迎付费和有需要的客户。菜单上没有价格，但是那些付得起一顿饭的人被鼓励捐赠20美元，而那些付不起钱的人被鼓励在餐厅做志愿者。
JBJ Soul Kitchen has already served over 105,893 meals. According to the restaurant’s website, 54% of those meals were paid for with donations and the rest 46% were earned by volunteering.
JBJ灵魂厨房已经提供超过105,893餐。根据该餐厅的网站，54%的餐费是由捐款支付的，剩下的46%是由志愿者支付的。
Patrons are not required to reserve a table in advance. The restaurant works under the first-come-first-served principle, however, people who are struggling financially are given priority.
顾客无须预先预订座位。这家餐厅遵循“先到先得”的原则，然而，那些经济拮据的人会得到优先考虑。
The restaurant menu consists of 3 courses inspired by local American cuisine. JBJ Soul Kitchen makes sure that their meals are both delicious and nutritious so their produce is organically grown in the restaurant’s garden.
餐厅菜单包括3道菜的灵感来自当地的美国美食。JBJ灵魂厨房确保他们的食物既美味又营养，所以他们的产品是在餐厅的花园里有机种植的。
On January 21, 2019, the restaurant offered free meals to government workers and family members who were affected by the federal government shutdown.
2019年1月21日，这家餐厅为受联邦政府停摆影响的政府工作人员和家庭成员提供免费餐食。
