Dsmmi, I know that she gives hundreds of thousands to various causes. For instance, she adopted a village in Africa (and a bunch of African children), has given lots to the UNCF, etc. I don't know what she has done in the Chi but it's only b/c it didn't make the magazine article that I read (which it probably wouldn't b/c it's not as glamorous as adopting a village in Africa).
She really does give alot. Especially compared to all of other rich business people in our country, and don't mention all of the rich athletes.

You know I have very mixed dfeeling about Oprah. While she has her Angel network and all that...Chicago's impoverished areas have not really felt the impact of her presence here. or at least as far as I can see. So if she has done other things that did not make the media...then I take it back. BUT i work in the area where her studio is. It AINT NO JOKE. (or at least it USED to be No joke) I have yet to hear about her coming to a community event in the area.
