In 2007, the JBJ Soul Foundation (known then as the Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation), joined Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy Carter Work Project 2007 in Los Angeles. The Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation was represented by then Executive Director Mimi Box, Philadelphia Soul Fullback Matt Bernstein and Wide Receiver / Defensive Back Mike Brown who lent their efforts to building houses.
The Carter Work Project is an intensive week-long build that takes place in a different location around the world each year. President and Mrs. Carter have worked alongside 103,000 volunteers in 14 countries to build, renovate and repair 4,331 homes.
