Jaden Smith opens a restaurant called I Love You where unhoused people eat free. 💚🍲
Instead of hosting an expensive celebrity birthday party when he turned 21 in 2019, Jaden Smith launched the I Love You Restaurant initiative. It began as a mobile food truck providing complimentary plant-based meals to residents on Los Angeles' Skid Row and has expanded into a non-profit organization offering hot food, water, and clothing.
