"Soul food is our personal passport to the past. It is much more about heritage than it is about hominy."

LLIFE's Community-owned Soul Food Cafe
1900 State Street  East St. Louis IL


 

Dr. Gerald Higginbotham's Life More Abundant Movement has long taught about the need to control the economic, political, and social process within our community.  Then and only then can we begin to see a significant re-building of our communities.  His book, Teamwork, Collaboration, and Networking, lays out the process for making this vision a reality.

 

This process is being  taught at LLIFE's Smart Center in East St. Louis.  The Soul Food Cafe is the East St. Louis Leadership Association's (a  LLIFE's ownership group) project.  They are the proud owners of the restaurant.

Peach Cobbler

 

People drive for miles to sample our chef's special Peach Cobbler.  After they eat a portion for dessert, they take home a helping or two for later.
