The JBJ Soul Kitchen is a community restaurant that does not have a designated price on any of their menu. People who are struggling financially can eat for free and allowed to pay whatever available meal they wish by helping to serve meals or work in the kitchen in exchange for food. But, those who can afford a meal are encouraged to donate $20.
