Tulsa Woman Making Blankets For City's Homeless

With the temperatures dropping, a group of Tulsa women is trying to do something good for the homeless.

700 people experiencing homelessness die each year from hypothermia in the United States.

The Women's Group at University Village Retirement Community is making blankets to help people stay warm.

Robyn Fletcher at University Village said some residents donated their time, others donated their money or blankets they bought to help the cause.

"We've got a roof over our head, we go heat, we got blankets, we have everything we need," Fletcher said. "So, it's nice to be able to think about the people in the community who aren't as lucky or fortunate as we are and just help them out."

The women are also collecting hats, scarves and gloves to donate.
