Tuscaloosa TES Heater Drive Today Helps Neighbors Beat the Cold

Our area has been hit with multiple rounds of frigid temperatures, with another arctic blast expected this weekend.

Today, Wednesday, January 28, you have the chance to bring warmth and comfort to those in need. Join us for the “Heater Drive” supporting Temporary Emergency Services (TES) and help a neighbor stay warm this winter.

The Heater Drive will be today from 5 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. at TES, located at 1705 15th St, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.

“TES is accepting donations of new or gently used heaters, blankets, and socks to help ensure members of the community have the essentials to stay warm during cold weather,” said the TES press release.

The annual Heater Drive provides warmth and support to individuals and families in need throughout the winter season.

“As winter temperatures drop, the need for warmth becomes more urgent for many of our neighbors,” said Dr. Karen Thompson-Jackson, TES Executive Director. “The Heater Drive is more than a collection effort. It is a reminder that when our community comes together, we can provide comfort, dignity, and hope to individuals and families who might otherwise face the cold alone.”
