Plant with Purpose
The Drake Oak Brook is proud to partner with Plant With Purpose as part of our commitment to sustainability and community impact. For every guest room that opts out of housekeeping service, a tree is planted in Ethiopia, helping restore the environment and support local communities. Together, we have already helped plant thousands of trees, creating a positive impact that extends far beyond our hotel. By connecting the Oak Brook community with communities in Ethiopia, this initiative reflects our belief that people grow stronger together through purpose, humility, and meaningful action. Stay with Purpose and help us build a more sustainable future, one tree at a time.
