Old Soul at 40 Acres To Host Thanksgiving Food Drive

Storyline: Oak Park Now
Old Soul Co. is hosting the "Soul of the Soul" Food Donation Drive on Thanksgiving Day at it's newest location in Oak Park. The local coffee company is slated to open its doors to the neighborhood in early 2010 with it's third retail location. Old Soul will replace the now closed Starbuck's that once anchored the 40 Acres Art Gallery complex when it was remodeled back in 2003.
According to the company's website, One of the guiding principles of Old Soul from the beginning has always been "to be better tomorrow than we are today"; in our minds, this principle includes everything from our own individual self improvement to our overall product improvement. We recognize how these principles have shaped both ourselves and our business and have made them both successful; along those lines, we have started a community outreach program called 'The Soul of the Soul".
With Soul of the Soul we will be planning monthly volunteer projects within our communtiy in which any Old Soul employee, customer or client can participate. All projects will be based as locally as possible in order to maximize our influence on our immediate community. Old Soul will try to provide transportation and arrange carpools whenever feasible.
All are invited, FREE T-shirts, coffee, pastries & yummy food from Rick Mahan of The Waterboy!

Looks like Old Soul bought what KJ was selling hook line and sinker. If they keep this up they will discover what KJ has been hiding.. that none of the so-called businesses in 40 Acres are making a single penny because they fail to market to the entire community..
Keep this up and Old Soul will be out in year, claiming the neighborhood was just not ready. What it isn't ready for is for someone else to come into the neighborhood thinking Oak Park needs their help. We are drowning in such groups and they are the reason (along with Hammond) that Oak Park remains a poor and marginal neighborhood.
