Towel Day and other little essentials

Trinity Episcopal Church is home to Iron Gate Ministries, a feeding program that offers a hot meal to around 400 people every day.  Many of the guests of Iron Gate are among Tulsa's homeless.  The rest are working poor.  This month, Iron Gate is asking for clean, new or gently used towels for those who are homeless.  They want to make sure everyone has a towel.  Can you imagine not only being homeless, but not having the very basics things we take for granted?  How do you ever feel clean when you are living on the street?  I think of all the extra necessities we have in our closets at our house.  We have many towels, blankets, toothpaste, bath gels, soaps.  And we do take it for granted that if we run out, we will simply buy more.  I don't think we can end homelessness by just donated towels and clothes and food.  But, we can add dignity to the lives of those who are homeless.  Think about donating some towels to Iron Gate or other agencies this week.  A small thing to you, might mean the world to someone else.

This proud intergalactic hitchhiker/high-school English teacher will most CERTAINLY celebrate Towel Day by making a donation this week in honor of the late Douglas Adams. Mad props to whoever thought of this for bringing us a tiny bit closer to 42. :)

They most certainly have many more sponsors. That is not even debatable.
