Jaden Smith Reveals Dream to Feed Unhoused on Skid Row

The musician and activist hopes to use his "I Love You" brand to achieve his goal of providing free meals every day.

Published on Feb. 23, 2026

Jaden Smith, 27, has revealed his long-term dream is to open a facility on Los Angeles' Skid Row where he can provide free meals to the unhoused community every day. Smith said he wants to use his "I Love You" brand, which currently operates as a food truck serving free vegan meals, to eventually have a permanent location in Skid Row to serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Why it matters

Smith's goal to feed the unhoused on Skid Row reflects a growing awareness and desire among celebrities and the public to address homelessness, particularly in major cities like Los Angeles that have large unhoused populations. Smith's non-profit work and stated mission to "spread love, peace and happiness" also aligns with a broader movement toward more socially conscious and community-oriented business models.

The details

In a TikTok video posted on February 14, 2026, Smith shared his "real golden dream" of having a building on Skid Row where he can provide free meals every day. He said he wants to create jobs and a "good vibe" at the location. Smith's "I Love You" brand started as a food truck in 2019 and serves free vegan meals, with the goal of ensuring "everyone deserves access to the healthiest food options, no matter their financial situations." While the brand currently doesn't have a permanent location, Smith hopes to establish an "I Love You headquarters" in Skid Row in the future.
