Justice – GLIDE – San Francisco
A Commitment to Justice
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, our devotion to justice drives our mission. We firmly believe in promoting love, compassion, and inclusivity as essential foundations for a just society. In collaboration with GLIDE, an influential community organization in San Francisco, we are actively working towards creating positive social change and providing support to those in need.
About GLIDE
GLIDE is a catalyst for transformation that has been serving the San Francisco community for over six decades. Founded on the principle that love and acceptance can dismantle injustice, GLIDE is committed to addressing economic, racial, and social disparities. They provide comprehensive services, such as healthcare, housing assistance, meals, and educational opportunities, to empower individuals and foster strong communities.
Our Impactful Initiatives
1. Community Meals
One of our central initiatives is the provision of nourishing meals to combat hunger and food insecurity. We organize regular community meals in collaboration with GLIDE, ensuring that no one goes hungry in San Francisco. Through these meals, we foster a sense of belonging and create a safe space for community members to connect and support one another.
2. Affordable Housing
Homelessness and lack of affordable housing are pressing issues in our community. We actively support GLIDE's efforts to provide safe and stable housing options through various programs, including transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and rental assistance. With our joint commitment, we strive to create a community where everyone has access to a secure and dignified home.
3. Educational Empowerment
Education is a powerful tool in breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering individuals. We collaborate with GLIDE's educational programs that offer academic support, vocational training, and scholarships. Through these initiatives, we aim to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to build a prosperous future for themselves and their families.
4. Advocacy and Activism
Our dedication to justice extends beyond direct services. We actively engage in advocacy and activism efforts that address systemic issues and promote policy changes. We collaborate with GLIDE to amplify marginalized voices, advocate for comprehensive healthcare, push for criminal justice reform, and champion equitable opportunities for all members of our community.
