A glove donning and removal apparatus has a housing defining glove dispensing and glove removal openings. For donning, a glove having a cuff defining a hand opening is sandwiched between a pair of upper and lower feed sheets which are advanced towards the glove dispensing opening. A pair of grabbers, each having a base and an arm affixed to the base, are positioned one on each side of the feed sheets. A grabber drive moves the grabber arms into engagement with the glove cuff, rotates the grabber arms to secure the gloves and moves the grabber arms apart to expand the glove hand opening to enable a user to easily insert a hand into the hand opening. Thereafter, the grabber arms are withdrawn from the glove to release the glove after a user's hand has been inserted therein. For removal, secondary top and bottom feed rolls having adhesively coated top and bottom feed sheets are moved towards the glove removal opening. Guides cause the top and bottom feed sheets to converge in the glove removal opening such that the adhesive-coated top and bottom feed sheets cooperate to strip a glove from a user's hand when the hand is placed on the feed sheet on the glove removal surface in the glove removal opening. Thereafter, the glove is encased between the top and bottom feed sheets subsequent to being removed from the hand of a user.
