On November 15, 2018, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation (JBJSF) and the Pilgrim Baptist Church (PBC) opened the JBJ & PBC Hope & Comfort Warming Center. The Warming Center provides the local homeless community a location during state-wide Code Blue alerts. As the first warming center in Monmouth County, the shelter promises a safe and secure location during below freezing temperatures.
The Warming Center serves coffee, tea and water as well as snacks prepared by volunteers. Individuals are offered cots, hot showers and an opportunity to clean their clothes with our washer/dryer system. Those who stayed at the Warming Center overnight are welcomed at JBJ Soul Kitchen Red Bank for a hot drink and a delicious meal. Providing warmth and security, our Warming Center became a model for other towns and boroughs in our country.
