Making A Difference
g-Loving Warmth

New York experienced an especially harsh winter in 2011. Thanks to the generous product donation from g-Loving Warmth, K.I.D.S.’ partner agencies were able to distribute knit gloves and hats to needy children in New York’s neighborhoods. In addition to providing warmth and comfort for the children, the hats and gloves provided peace of mind for the parents knowing there was one less challenge to worry about in the care of their children.

Being able to give more than just love is at the heart of g-Loving Warmth ’s president, Lari Stanton. After a long career as a glove executive that included introducing the famous Isotoner gloves, Lari retired and started g-Loving Warmth. He has used his extensive knowledge of foreign production and importing to efficiently produce large quantities of gloves and hats for donation to children in need.

Lari ’s relationship with K.I.D.S. began in 2007 with the donation of 150,000 gloves and hats. It has since grown to a commitment to donate 1 million gloves and hats to kids in need.
