Spread the Joy: Heartfelt Ways to Give Back in Tulsa This Holiday Season

Posted on Dec 22, 2025

As we embrace the joy and togetherness of the holiday season, it’s a wonderful opportunity to reach out and support those around us. Here is a list of meaningful organizations that would greatly appreciate a helping hand during this special time of year.

Donate to Coats for Kids

As temperatures drop, many in our community are facing winter without a warm coat. To help meet this need, News on 6 and Yale Cleaners have joined together for the annual Coats for Kids drive. Now through December 31, you can donate new or gently used coats in all sizes, from infant to adult, at any Yale Cleaners location. Infant and plus-size adult coats are especially needed. Each donated coat will be professionally cleaned and then delivered to First Baptist Tulsa, where it will be distributed to individuals and families in need. Visit https://yalecleaners.com/Community for more information.

Emergency Infant Services

Emergency Infant Services, or EIS, is a non-profit that assists over thousands of infants and toddlers annually, and is funded through the generosity of the community and volunteers to ensure children in the Tulsa community have the essentials they need.You can make a difference by donating to their organization online, in-person, by mail, or gifting them items from their Amazon Wishlist.
