VOLUNTEER SUPPORT FOR PHOENIX DAY!

We are grateful to all the incredible volunteers who joined us for our recent Summer Volunteer Fun challenge. Your participation in our Challenge, uplifted our community in countless ways.

Now, we need your help again! October brings us Phoenix Day, a carnival-style block party outside of GLIDE. The 300 block of Ellis St. is closed to traffic, and the community comes together to connect, learn about resources and celebrate!

To make this day a success, we’re looking for volunteers to support event activities and help with the dinner shift. Your time and presence will create a warm, welcoming and joyful experience for all.

Please let us know if you have any questions through email at volteam@glide.org, or phone: 415-674-6081.
