The Urgent Need for Warm Clothes Donations

The impact of winter weather on Tulsa's homeless and vulnerable populations is severe. Freezing temperatures and harsh winds pose significant risks to health and well-being. The increased demand for warm clothing during the winter months puts a strain on resources, particularly for organizations like the Tulsa Day Center. We serve hundreds of individuals each year who rely on us for essential services, including warm clothing during the colder months.

• Rising energy costs make it harder for low-income families to stay warm in their own homes, increasing their reliance on community support.
• Exposure to cold weather can lead to serious health problems, including hypothermia, frostbite, and other potentially life-threatening conditions.
• The Tulsa Day Center relies heavily on the generosity of the Tulsa community to provide essential services, including warm clothing, to those in need. We strive to ensure everyone has access to the basic necessities for survival.

Most Needed Items: What to Donate

To maximize the impact of your donation, we prioritize specific items that provide the most warmth and protection. We are especially in need of:

• New or gently used coats, jackets, and sweaters: Heavy, waterproof outerwear is crucial for staying dry and warm in Tulsa winters.
• Warm hats, gloves, scarves, and socks: These accessories are vital for protecting extremities from the cold, preventing frostbite.
• Waterproof boots: Protecting feet from the elements is essential, especially for individuals who are outdoors for extended periods.
• Warm blankets: These provide extra insulation and warmth for those sleeping outdoors or in inadequately heated spaces.
• Thermals (long underwear): Layering is key to staying warm, and thermals provide an excellent base layer for warmth.

Please ensure all donated items are clean and in good condition. We cannot accept damaged or stained clothing. Your thoughtful donations ensure the warmth and comfort of those facing the harsh realities of winter.
