Tulsa Restaurant Gives Out Bottles Of Bubbly In Exchange For Blankets, Clothes For Homeless

A Tulsa restaurant is giving out bottles of bubbly to people who bring in blankets, clothes, and gloves for the homeless. 

"These all came in just this morning," said Johnna Hayes with Three Sirens Restaurant Group. 

This is what a good idea and a community of people can do in 48 hours.

"Blankets, suitcases full of flannels and winter wear. It looks like we have got some sweaters, bags of clothes. We just had our linen company, Superior Linens, drop off almost 300 hospital blankets," said Hayes. 

These blankets, scarves and gloves are for people who are living on the streets trying to survive this icy, cold, weather.

"Just to think of somebody out there, struggling, in this weather is really hard," said Hayes. 

Hayes is the type of person who knows how to rally the troops. She called on her friends, partnered with distributors and they all created BLANKETS FOR BUBBLES.

"You walk in with something we have requested- a bag of socks, a sack of clothes, a blanket- we just hand you the bottle and say, 'Thank you,'" said Hayes. 

You read that right.

"You are keeping somebody warm, and we are giving you a little bit of a buzz and saying, 'Thank you!'" said Hayes. 

"One person can make such a difference in someone's life. One coat can help one person and that one person is going to stay warm," said Bramble guest Claudia Lahmeyer. 

All these donations are going to Housing Solutions Tulsa Thursday.

"On days like today, we are out with folks experiencing unsheltered homelessness- trying to get them into shelter if that is where they want to go. If not, we are trying to make sure that they have enough supplies to survive the next few days," said Tyler Parette with Housing Solutions Tulsa. "My team has the last blankets that we have out in the field right now. We are going to have these blankets out on the streets tonight."

"This last year, but also these last few weeks, these last few months, it just seems like everybody is against everybody. Even myself, I have gotten wrapped up in that and then everybody is there to do something for somebody else that they don't even know," said Hayes.
