"onecoldhand.com is a project that connects the Pittsburgh community through one unfortunate event - the loss of a glove. The website creates a method for dealing with the conundrum of finding these lost articles. Do you leave it and hope the owner comes back to find it? Do you pick it up? Throw it away? With onecoldhand.com, the abandoned object now becomes a symbol of benevolence and hope."
-----Jennifer Gooch

YES! I am so happy that man's glove has found its way back to him! It warms my heart...and probably his hand, too.
i walked right past this glove..i remember thinking 'someone's going to miss that later today..' hurrah for you for reuniting handschuh with owner!
What a stupid website! This all an attempt to attract attention. I can't believe NPR covered this. You poor little yuppie thing. You are really smug little zero aren't you?
I am sorry that a person can be so mean. The "stupid website" comment is just uncalled for. Some of the smallest things can bring smiles to a person. If some are not interested go away, but wish well to someone willing to bring a little happiness to a stranger. I know what its like to be cold, I live in Vermont. It’s a nice service for someone to provide the people of the area. Better than putting others down. I hope the person mention above finds some love and compassion in the new year.
Besides unsigned notes are worthless in my world. Be brave sign your comments.
Thanks Jennifer for having fun helping others. Its gotta be a great art project to boot.

I bet the people who find their gloves don't agree with "anonymous-3." It's nice to hear of someone finding a way to help alleviate stress from daily hassles. Thank you for the inspiration.
Good grief anonymous, have you ever heard of good news, or people being nice? It happens, and it's a beautiful thing.
I think this is the most charming public service! Thank you for being innovative and kind.
This is so cool. I may start this in Chicago ( Lake View ) Mean people just suck (the 12/27/07 6:10 Pm comment)
