Urgent Need for Winter Clothing Donations

The need for warm clothing in Tulsa during winter is critical. Rising energy costs and economic hardship mean many individuals and families are struggling to stay warm. This is especially true for our city's most vulnerable populations, including those experiencing homelessness. Many lack access to adequate shelter, leaving them exposed to the elements. The demand for winter clothing at the Tulsa Day Center far surpasses our current supply.

• Rising energy costs: Increased heating bills are making it harder for low-income families to heat their homes sufficiently, increasing their reliance on warm clothing.
• Homelessness: Many individuals experiencing homelessness lack access to warm clothing and adequate shelter, making them particularly vulnerable to the cold.
• Limited supply: The Tulsa Day Center is experiencing a significant shortage of winter clothing items, highlighting the urgent need for donations.
• Specific items urgently needed: We are especially in need of warm coats, hats, gloves, scarves, thick socks, and thermal underwear. These items provide crucial protection against the cold and significantly improve the well-being of those receiving them.
