About Glide Memorial’s Free Meals Program
Glide’s Free Meals Program is the only program in San Francisco that serves three nutritious meals every day to the poor, homeless and hungry. Begun in 1969 Glide’s Food and Meals Program today serves as many as 3,500 meals a day and averages more than one million meals every year. Operating with a paid staff of only 16, the program could not survive without the energy and commitment of thousands of volunteers, and the stream of food and supplies donated by corporations, restaurants, hotels, individuals and foodservice suppliers.

Hunger: A choice no one should have to make.
Each month, tens of thousands of low-income Alameda County residents cannot afford well-balanced meals for themselves and their families. Many never imagined they would need to request food assistance, but barren cupboards and empty pockets have led them to local soup kitchens and food pantries.
CITY HARVEST
Founded in 1982, City Harvest is America’s largest and oldest food rescue program. Every day, City Harvest delivers an average of 34,000 pounds of food that would otherwise go to waste — about
12.5 million pounds last year to food pantries, soup kitchens, day care and senior centers, homeless shelters and charitable organizations serving low-income families and individuals in New York’s five boroughs. Its Hunger Hotline connects thousands of callers each month to emergency food in their neighborhoods.

HUNGER: DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS?
It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year.
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.
Famine and wars cause about 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition. Families facing extreme poverty are simply unable to get enough food to eat.
In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of where their next meal would come from. Of these Americans, 12 million were children. The Hunger Site began on June 1, 1999.
Please remember to click every day to give help and hope to those with nowhere to turn. Every click counts in the life of a hungry person.

Disaster Recovery
America Red Cross
Clara Barton (1821-1912) dominates the early history of the American Red Cross, which was modeled after the International Red Cross. She did not originate the Red Cross idea, but she was the first person to establish a lasting Red Cross Society in America. She successfully organized the American Association of the Red Cross in Washington, D.C., on May 21, 1881. Created to serve America in peace and in war, during times of disaster and national calamity, Barton's organization took its service beyond that of the International Red Cross Movement by adding disaster relief to battlefield assistance. She served as the organization's volunteer president until 1904.
Mercy Corps
Down trodden or Determined? Change the way you see them,they can change their world.
People recovering from war, disaster and social upheaval must be agents of their own transformation for change to endure. This belief has been proven again and again in our 25 years of experience on the ground. It's only when people set their own agendas, raise their own resources and implement programs themselves, that their first successes result in the renewed hope, confidence and skills to continue to develop independently.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME -- "One's own family (or country, etc.) comes before any other responsibilities. The idea of the proverb can be found in the Bible. The proverb dates back to the time of the Roman comic playwright Terence (about 190-159 BC). In 1383, John Wycliffe wrote: 'Charity should begin at himself.' Five hundred years later Dickens said that 'Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.' First attested in the United States in the 'Winthrop Papers' (1628).'." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
