GLIDE’s holiday programs represent more than charitable giving—they are celebrations of dignity, hope, and unconditional love that have evolved over 60 years of community service. Signature events like the Annual Thanksgiving Celebration and Christmas Eve Prime Rib Luncheon have become San Francisco traditions, with some partnerships spanning over three decades. These gatherings unite GLIDE’s entire “Beloved Community,” welcoming clients, congregants, volunteers, staff, board members, donors, corporate partners, and public officials in shared celebration and service.

Our Holiday Meals & activities demonstrates GLIDE’s unwavering commitment to creating radical inclusion and beloved community, transforming the holiday season into a time when all people, regardless of circumstance, can experience dignity, joy, and unconditional love.
