Glove House, Inc.

For more than five decades, Glove House, a 5013C not-for-profit organization, has provided community-based services giving hope and help through supporting youth and empowering families. Glove House was founded in 1970 by Norman "Chuck" Jennings along with his wife, Nellie, and the community of Elmira. They recognized there were boys in the Elmira community who had dropped out of school, had no place to call home, had few life skills, and lacked a plan for a sustainable future. Over time, the communities we serve have grown and evolved as has how we serve them, now focusing on keeping youth in their homes providing wrap-around care through a variety of programs. Today Glove House serves approximately 450 youth and adults through person-centered approaches via foster care, preventive and crisis intervention services, health homes services, mental health services, independent living and school based programs in 13 counties in Central NY, the Southern Tier, and the Finger Lakes.
