Jaden Smith, Will Smith’s son, has now made headlines for another good deed. The singer and actress is known for using her influence to take a stand, and now she’s decided to give back to the community through a ‘free’ restaurant! Here’s everything you need to know about the ‘Karate Kid’ actor’s latest endeavor.
Jaden Smith a free vegan restaurant for homeless people
Smith has officially opened a non-profit restaurant called ‘I Love You’ in one of Los Angeles’ largest homeless shelters. The singer also set up a proper website for the initiative, explaining in more detail how and why they work.The initiative has been running since the singer’s 21st birthday in 2019. The restaurant operates a food truck and provides free meals to all homeless people in the Skid Row area. On the initiative’s website, they have also disclosed that they offer free Smith’s own brand water and also give clothes to those in need.This initiative has once again become clear, shortly after Jaden shared a video, stating that he wanted the initiative to go beyond a food truck. In the video, he stated that he wants a proper building in the Skin Row area so that people can come and eat in peace.
Jaden Smith’s restaurant operates a “pay it forward” policy
Another factor of the initiative is that anyone can come and eat from the food truck. For homeless people, food is completely free; however, if you want to eat there, you can pay for the meal. Bringing the ‘pay it forward’ facility, the meal you pay for will cover the next person’s meal.Not only that, Smith’s initiative also promotes healthy and good meals. On the official website, “Our founder, Jaden Smith, believes that everyone deserves access to the healthiest foods, regardless of their financial situation. So the menu was created with our world-class chef and co-founder, Tabitha Leeper, to bring that vision to life.”Before that, Jaden also started his own water company, offering more sustainable and eco-friendly containers as an alternative to common plastic bottles. Not only that, but through his organization, he helped set up a mobile filtration device in Flint, Michigan in 2019 when the water crisis was at its peak.
