Turkey Drive: Drop off a Turkey for GLIDE’s Thanksgiving and Christmas meals! Turkeys can be dropped off in front of GLIDE at 330 Ellis Street the two days before Thanksgiving on Tuesday Nov. 26th and Wednesday Nov. 27th from 11am-5:30pm. Rather purchase a Turkey? Donate $50 to purchase a 25lb Turkey for GLIDE at www.glide.org/holiday-giving
- Support our Toy Drive! Every year, generous donors purchase over 2,000 toys that GLIDE distributes to 450 children who receive services at GLIDE. Each child receives a bag of age-specific toys based on their specific preferences. Our Amazon gift registry can be found here. Or you can donate $25 to purchase a toy, or $100 to purchase one bag of toys for a child at glide.org/holiday-giving
Interested in Hosting a Toy Drive at Your Office
or Be a Corporate Partner?
We love office toy drives! We can help you set up a toy drive for your company. We ask that all toys be new and not gift wrapped (so we can give them to the correct age group), and meet the following guidelines:
- No violence: no toy guns, knives, etc.
- No toys that make noise (this one is for the parents!)
- For ages 0-11
- Highly requested toys include lego sets, stuffed animals, dolls, games, toy sets, arts & crafts, books, and all things sports.
Because the holidays are our busiest time of year, we request that toys be dropped off at 330 Ellis Street, c/o Toy Drive. Services like LUGG or TaskRabbit pick up and deliver toys at a reasonable price.
- Corporate Partners: Sponsor Toy Drive by Volunteering!
Sponsorship benefits include 15-70 reserved volunteer shifts exclusively for your company, which has the possibility of receiving press coverage from outlets like the San Francisco Chronicle, KTVU, CHRON4, ABC7, and more. Sponsors will be featured in our newsletter and on social media. It’s a wonderful way to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities that foster community, and bring joy and abundance to low-income children this holiday season.
- Adopt-a-Day: $5,000. Reserve an entire day of volunteer shifts! 30-70 volunteer spots
- Adopt-a-Shift: $3,000 reserves one shift (15-30 spots)
- Support our Holiday Meal Program
Every year GLIDE serves thousands of delicious holiday meals to the people of San Francisco, providing joy and holiday spirit to those who need it most. Sponsor someone’s holiday meal of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, veggies, and pumpkin pie. Donations can be made at glide.org/holiday-giving
- $55 covers ingredients, labor and staffing to serve a single meal
- $500 covers our costs to feed an entire table of eight
