Charles Barkley has committed $250,000 to the GLIDE Foundation, an organization working to support the homeless in San Francisco. This donation comes after Barkley volunteered during NBA All-Star Weekend, showcasing his dedication to the cause. GLIDE's leadership emphasized the importance of these funds in providing essential navigation services for the unhoused, including assistance with housing, employment, and basic needs. The announcement of the donation was made on TNT's 'Inside the NBA,' highlighting Barkley's passion for the foundation's work in the community.
"He was really passionate on the work that we're doing as people come into the meals line. The people walk into GLIDE, we're talking to them about 'Are you housed? Do you need food? Are you looking for a job?'"
"This money is going to continue to support that operation that we do every day in the community at GLIDE," said Gina Fromer.
"The announcement came after Barkley spent a day volunteering at GLIDE during NBA All-Star Weekend, and he even surprised the organization."
