Wrap Up Homelessness After you’ve bought all those gifts, you’re going to need something to wrap them in. Each year, Curbside Chronicle , a project of the Homeless Alliance, produces wrapping paper with beautiful, creative designs by local artists. All proceeds support the organization’s mission to employ and empower people transitioning out of homelessness in OKC. Purchase your wrapping paper from Curbside Chronicle vendors around town, at the Holiday Pop-Up Shops in Midtown or at Curbside Flowers (don’t miss their perfect-for-giving wreaths and tiny Christmas trees, created by employees transitioning out of homelessness, as well as 12 ounce bags of Curbside blend coffee). And, if you need custom screen printing for the holiday season, check out the group’s newest venture: Curbside Apparel ! wrapuphomelessness.org
