Winter's harsh winds are approaching Tulsa, and the Tulsa Day Center is urgently seeking warm clothing donations to protect our vulnerable community members from the cold. With temperatures plummeting, the need for coats, hats, gloves, and scarves is greater than ever. Your generosity can make a significant difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness and hardship. This winter, more than ever, your contribution of warm clothing will provide vital protection and hope.

The Urgent Need for Warm Clothing

The situation facing Tulsa's vulnerable population this winter is dire. The number of individuals seeking shelter at the Tulsa Day Center and other similar organizations is increasing rapidly, exceeding the capacity of existing resources. This surge is driven by several factors:

• Rising energy costs: Soaring energy prices are making it incredibly difficult for low-income families to afford heating their homes adequately. Many are facing the agonizing choice between food and heating, leaving them vulnerable to the cold.
• Increased homelessness: The economic hardships faced by many in our community have led to a significant rise in homelessness. This leaves a growing number of individuals exposed to the elements, with little or no protection from the winter weather.
• Dwindling winter clothing supplies: The Tulsa Day Center's existing stock of winter clothing is rapidly depleting, leaving us unable to meet the escalating demand. We desperately need your help to replenish our supplies before the coldest months arrive.

Types of Clothing Most Needed

To effectively combat the cold, we require a wide range of warm clothing items. Your donation of any of the following will be greatly appreciated:

• Coats: All sizes are needed, but there is a particularly urgent need for adult men's and children's coats. Waterproof or water-resistant coats offer superior protection.
• Hats: Knitted hats, fleece hats, and other warm head coverings are crucial for preventing heat loss.
• Gloves and mittens: Waterproof gloves and mittens are preferred, offering better protection against the elements.
• Scarves: Wool, fleece, or other warm material scarves provide vital neck and face protection.
• Warm socks and thermal underwear: These are essential for keeping individuals warm from the inside out. New or gently used socks are always appreciated.
• New or gently used clothing: We accept new or gently used clothing items that are in good condition and clean. Please ensure all donated items are clean and free of damage.
