The Urgent Need for Warm Winter Clothing in Tulsa

Tulsa winters are unforgiving. For those experiencing homelessness, the consequences of exposure to extreme cold are severe. Hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold-weather illnesses pose significant health risks, often leading to hospitalization or even death. According to the Tulsa Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority (TREMSA), cold-related illnesses among the homeless population increase dramatically during winter months. The lack of access to warm clothing exacerbates these risks.

• Lack of access to warm clothing: Many experiencing homelessness lack basic winter necessities like coats, hats, gloves, and warm socks.
• Increased health risks due to hypothermia: Prolonged exposure to cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia, a life-threatening condition.
• The importance of community support: Addressing this critical need requires the collective effort of our community. Help Tulsa's Homeless this winter by providing much-needed warmth and protection.
