Recent Red Gloves Projects Examples:
- Karen's Family Helps FDNY - Karen Kingsbury and her family sent 1,000 copies of her bestselling novel One Tuesday Morning to the 242 fire stations in the Fire Department of New York City. Karen, Don, the kids, and Karen's extended family and friends gathered in her living room to make an assembly line that filled the boxes, placed letters in each box, and labeled them. The responses Karen is getting back from members of the FDNY have been both amazing and gut-wrenching. "I wanted to give something back," Karen says. "God is using that book to bring healing to a group of people who are still deeply suffering from the tragedy of September 11, 2001."
- Teacher Helps Kids with Difficulties - A middle school teacher read Gideon's Gift to her behaviorally disadvantaged class, and then gave each student a pair of red gloves. The lives of these children were changed, as they donned the gloves and set out doing kind deeds for other students and administrators at the school.
- Bookstores Take Part - Dozens of bookstores set up a Red Gloves Project and collected hundreds of coats and winter-wear items.
- Co-workers Help Foster Kids - Several work groups pulled together, donned red gloves, and delivered toys to children in foster homes.
