Mayor Rodrick has now targeted the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen at the Ocean County Library with lies and gross exaggerations. Rodrick claims that mothers have to walk through large gangs of intoxicated and mentally ill men with their children to borrow a book. If this were the case, Rodrick would have no one else to blame but himself because public intoxication is a crime and his police should enforce the law.

The Monarch Group conducted a survey in January 2024 and found that there were 556 homeless people in Ocean County. 27 percent were under 18 years of age and 43 percent had at least one disability!
Â
I have been in that area several times and have not witnessed anything Rodrick claims. Women and minors are there as well because they are also homeless.
Â
I urge you and your family and friends to support the restaurant from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. Tuesday through Friday only! There is a suggested donation of $12.00 for a meal and pay for the meals of others if you can. This is a Pay It Forward model.

Jon Bon Jovi and his wife have opened a second restaurant at 1769 Hooper Avenue in Toms River. Call (732) 731-1414 because they operate on different days and also serve dinner on some days.
