The Urgent Need for Warm Clothing

Tulsa winters can be brutally cold, with temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. This extreme weather significantly impacts the city's homeless population, increasing their risk of hypothermia, frostbite, and other life-threatening cold-related illnesses. While the exact number fluctuates, Tulsa consistently faces a significant challenge with homelessness, and these harsh conditions exacerbate an already difficult situation. Many individuals lack access to adequate shelter or the resources to protect themselves from the elements.

• Urgent need for winter coats, jackets, and thermal underwear: These provide the essential base layer of warmth against freezing temperatures.
• High demand for warm hats, gloves, and scarves: These accessories are crucial for protecting extremities from frostbite.
• Blankets and sleeping bags are also critically needed: Providing insulation and warmth for those sleeping outdoors.

Types of Clothing Most Needed

The Tulsa Day Center is prioritizing specific items to best address the immediate needs of our homeless community. We gratefully accept clean and gently used clothing in good condition. While we appreciate all donations, certain items are in higher demand than others.

• Men's and women's winter coats (all sizes): Durable, waterproof outerwear is especially important.
• Warm socks and thermal underwear: These provide a crucial barrier against the cold and damp.
• Heavy blankets and sleeping bags: These are vital for insulation and warmth during frigid nights.
• Waterproof outerwear (jackets, pants): Protection from rain and snow is equally important.
• Hats, gloves, and scarves: These accessories safeguard vulnerable extremities.
