Who We Serve
GLIDE is a leading social services organization in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood as well as a social justice movement and spiritual community, dedicated to strengthening and transforming lives. GLIDE welcomes all in need of care and community. Our Daily Free Meals program serves a diverse cross-section of homeless and insecurely housed individuals and families as well as low-income working people, and senior citizens and differently abled folks on small fixed incomes.
During shelter-in-place orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic GLIDE has remained open as an essential service provider to our community. Our Meals program has provided up to 15,000+ meals a week both on-site distributed outdoors in to-go containers as well as delivered to individuals and community partners across the city.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at GLIDE!
Placing the health and safety of the entire GLIDE community as our highest priority, GLIDE will be requiring volunteers working onsite to be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated is defined as two full weeks after the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna, or two full weeks after the single dose of Johnson & Johnson. Volunteers must be able to verify their fully vaccinated status with GLIDE’s Volunteer Program prior to the start of their shift. This new policy and practice will be duly enforced beginning November 19th.
