'Tis the Season to SHARE: Urgent and Basic Needs, Tulsa Oklahoma

I don't know whether the cold weather makes me think about the homeless or if the season makes me grateful for all that I have. Either way, it's definitely the season to clean out your closets and donate to those in need. Below is a list of community organizations who help those less fortunate - please consider making donations of clothing, food, money and time.
