Faith-affiliated organizations
Catholic Charities San Francisco: Catholic Charities partners with community, business and interfaith groups to reach those in need, including individuals and families experiencing homelessness, singleparent families, people with HIV/AIDS, immigrants and seniors. Though associated with the San Francisco Archdiocese, they operate as an independent organization and do not directly contribute funds to the church.
What they need: Cash donations to support staff and essential workers
To donate: www.catholic charitiessf.org
Services offered: Catholic Charities is providing homelessness outreach and homeless prevention services. Their Center for Immigration Legal and Support Services remains open via phone at 415-972-1238. They are committed to working with seniors living on their own, and although programs have closed, they are still providing twice-a-week food service where seniors can pick up groceries at OMI Senior Center at 65 Beverly St., San Francisco.
Glide: Glide is a 50-year-old church community and social services provider in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.

Services offered: The Daily Free Meals program has been adjusted to use takeout containers to deliver hot meals three times daily. The walk-in center services, including shelter bed reservations, continue via a triage desk in the lobby to avoid congregating unsafely in the building. Glide’s Harm Reduction Services have paused offsite HIV/Hep C testing events for health and safety reasons in favor of one-on-one testing. The Syringe Access Services will continue. Glide Church’s celebration online continues at 9 and 11 a.m. Sundays through April.
