A Gloves for Love box has been placed in the Slippery Rock community's gazebo with the intention of sharing warm clothes with passers-by this winter season.

The box is decorated with a red ribbon and has the phrase 'Give what you can, take what you need, help warm up the town, with a good deed!' stamped on its lid.

Sonya Lenz, board member at Slippery Rock in Bloom, said she was approached by a friend about putting a box out for people to donate or take gloves, scarves, hats and other warm winter accessories as needed. According to Lenz, it's not any group or organization that's in charge of the box, it's a town-run initiative.

“It's residents of the towns doing it for residents of the town,” Lenz said.
