The Urgent Need for Winter Clothing

Winter in Tulsa brings frigid temperatures, icy conditions, and a heightened risk of hypothermia and frostbite for the city's homeless population. These individuals lack access to the basic necessities that most of us take for granted, including warm clothing. The consequences of inadequate protection can be devastating, leading to serious health complications and even death. According to recent estimates, [Insert Statistic about homelessness in Tulsa if available, e.g., "over X individuals experience homelessness in Tulsa each night"], highlighting the urgent need for community support.

We are particularly in need of the following items:

• Coats: Especially heavy winter coats that offer substantial protection from the wind and cold.
• Warm hats and gloves: Essential for preventing frostbite on exposed extremities.
• Thick scarves and neck warmers: Providing crucial insulation for the neck and face.
• Waterproof boots: Protecting against the cold, wet, and often icy conditions.
• Thermal underwear: Providing an essential base layer for trapping body heat.
• New or gently used clothing in good condition: All donations must be clean and dry.
