Santa needs to bring something special for this girl, for she has been especially nice. This past autumn, Carnegie Melon student Jennifer Gooch started OneColdHand - 'a site for the collection and hopeful reunion of Pittsburgh's dropped gloves'. She posts photos and information of lost gloves on the site, hoping their owners will claim them. Jennifer provides OneColdHand stickers, so that when you find a glove you can leave a sticker in its place and direct the owner of the lost glove to the web site. In addition, she has organized glove drop boxes sponsored by local businesses and has worked with two other women to have a OneColdHand start up in New York City. So far in Pittsburgh, three pairs of hands are happier.
To some it may not seem that important of a mission, to collect the lost gloves and mittens of a city's sidewalks, these 'sad lumps', and attempt to reunite them with their owners. But goodwill can be contagious and OneColdHand is warming hearts as well as hands.
