Glide Memorial Church Gives Away Groceries to the Needy, Cold

Hundreds of people waited in the freezing cold and rain last night to get free bag of groceries this morning. The giveaway, care of Glide Memorial Church, takes place from 7:30 am until 12:30 in the afternoon today. Each bag has a turkey or chicken, potatoes, bread, pasta, sauce, rice, beans, and a sundry of veggies. However, according to reports, "there are a lot of new faces in line because of the recession, and there's concern six thousand bags may not be enough for those in need this year." (Oh, and the SF Food Bank could always use a donation! $1 distributes $9 worth of food to those in need! And you can do it here!)

SWEEEET! Yeah from my apartment I saw the thousands in line as I got ready for work.

I'm delivering over 300 toys and canned food items today after work to Glide. I hope it helps.

thanks for the reminder about the food bank, too. i just sent them some dollars after seeing this.
