GLIDE is a non-profit organization in San Francisco that provides a wide range of services to people who are poor or unhoused, including those who are working poor. It offers meals, shelter, housing support, addiction recovery help, violence prevention, and other social services designed to help individuals move from hardship toward self-sufficiency and personal and spiritual growth. The organization works by delivering on-the-ground programs and support tailored to individual needs, guided by a belief in the dignity of every person and a commitment to giving people second chances no matter how many times they fall. GLIDE’s programs began in 1969 as a simple Monday-night meal for street people and have grown into one of the city’s largest and most comprehensive providers of services for marginalized communities. Its goal is to reduce barriers created by poverty and lack of self-worth, helping people recover, rehabilitate, and build a more stable life.
