Remembering Terence Crutcher in Service
Day of Service
September 16, 2020 will be the 4th anniversary of the tragic killing of our beloved, Terence Crutcher. We are writing to inform you that we will NOT have our Annual Memorial Gala due to COVID-19. In lieu of the Gala, the Terence Crutcher Foundation has decided to honor Terence’s life with an organized day of service. The day of service will assist with finding solutions to the City of Tulsa’s homelessness crisis. We believe that criminalizing homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction and poverty in the middle of a pandemic is not the answer. The city is set to open a new overflow day shelter for people experiencing homelessness on Tuesday, Sept. 7, and 55 adult beds will be ready for individuals to shelter overnight beginning September 28, 2020.
Terence Crutcher Foundation Day of Service will consist of the following:
• Care Package Drive
• Barbeque Cookout
• Uplifting Music
Items needed for the Care Package Drive include:
Backpacks, scarfs, gloves, socks, undergarments, feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, wipes, soap, shaving cream, razors, lip balm (travel sizes if available), dog dishes, small bottles of water, packaged cheese/peanut butter crackers, tuna packs, Vienna sausage, fruit cups, plastic spoons

Please drop off items for care packages at Greenwood Leadership Academy located at 1789 W. Seminole St, Tulsa, OK 74127 between the times of 9am - 3pm. You can also purchase items through our Amazon Wish List by clicking the link below!
COVID-19 SUPPORT EFFORTS
As Tulsans face one of the most significant crises in generations, residents and organizations across the city have rallied together to support one another. Out of immense gratitude for the selfless work of our healthcare heroes, first responders and city sanitation workers in this difficult time, the Terence Crutcher Foundation is partnering with District 1 City Councilor Vanessa Hall-Harper and the George Kaiser Family Foundation in offering free lunches at various North Tulsa, Black-owned restaurants on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.
