Jaden Smith spoke with Variety and explained what ‘paying it forward’ will look like at the eatery and said those who aren’t homeless will be required to pay

“more than the food’s worth so that you can pay for the person behind you.”

When Jaden Smith launched his food truck ‘I Love You’, he said:

“The movement is about giving people what they deserve, healthy vegan food for free.”

Jaden’s philanthropic efforts have helped to feed thousands of people in Los Angeles and Harlem, New York.
