Tommy Joe Strums For Toy And Food Donations At Espresso Palette

CHICAGO RIDGE, IL — Oak Lawn’s own Tommy Joe (aka Tom Repetny) will be strumming his guitar Friday, Dec. 20 at a Christmas food and toy drive. The performance is from 7 to 10:30 p.m. at Espresso Palette, 5730 W. 111th St., Chicago Ridge.

Toys and food items will be given to St. Catherine of Alexandria in Oak Lawn for distribution to local families facing financial difficulties.

Presented by Reywas Stage, Tommy Joe will be playing classic hits, acoustic jams and holiday music. Tommy Joe is a music encyclopedia, so be sure to shout out some requests.

“We are accepting non-perishable food and toys that will be donated to families in need,” Tommy Joe said. “If you can’t make it to the show that night, feel free to drop it off earlier. We are looking forward to a great night.”

While you’re there, be sure to order something off Espresso Palette’s menu of delicious pastries, sandwiches, coffee and tea beverages, or treat yourself to a domestic or imported beer, wine or a cocktail.
