TULSA, Okla. -
Tulsa businesses have teamed up to provide supplies to veterans who don t have shelter this winter, which they said is a problem made worse by the pandemic. Organizers told News On 6 the effort began with a Good Samaritan who saw a need and decided to fill it.
The generous Tulsan said it s his duty and obligation as a U.S. citizen to serve America s homeless heroes. This all started many months ago,” said Dr. Mike Hight, Humana Health Services.
Dr. Hight said he and his wife were leaving a restaurant when a veteran across the street came out from under a bridge with his dog tag hugging his neck, homeless and needing help. Dr. Hight bought the veteran lunch and believes that s the least he can do for a man he s banked on for his freedom.
