One City Day: Serving Meals with Glide

About One City Day

Join us for One City Day — San Francisco’s first-ever citywide day of service! On Saturday, July 11th, San Franciscans across all 11 districts will come together to volunteer, connect, and show up for the city we love. Whether you’re gardening, cleaning up a neighborhood, packing supplies, or creating art, there’s the perfect project for all ages and abilities.

About This Project

GLIDE’s Free Daily Meals program provides three hot, nutritious meals a day, seven days a week, and 364 days a year. We rely on 75 generous volunteers every day who provide our clients with a welcoming, inclusive, and dignified dining experience. Volunteers will serve ~1,700 meals in one day, increasing food accessibility for San Franciscans experiencing food insecurity.

This volunteer experience requires the ability to stand for 2 hours, and lift up to 25 lbs. Please wear closed-toed shoes and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops).

What to Expect

When you get to your project site, your project host will welcome volunteers, go over the day’s activities, and provide a quick safety overview.

Volunteers will work alongside neighbors, community organizations, and city partners for approximately two hours.

There will be an opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers after your project wraps.

What to Wear/Bring

Dress in layers and wear closed-toe shoes.

Wear shirts with sleeves (no tank tops).

Bring sunscreen and a reusable water bottle.

Additional supplies (gloves, tools, bags, etc.) will be provided by your project host unless otherwise notified.
