A nonprofit founded in the 70s, Tenderloin Tessie Holiday Dinners has been providing warm holiday meals to those in need- with a added special side of a drag performance.
Sunday at The Unitarian Universalist Church in San Francisco, accompanied by the vocals of a local drag queen.. The nonprofit was founded by its namesake in the 70s.
Tessie was a drag queen," said Michael Gagne, board chair of the nonprofit."She got some turkeys donated at Thanksgiving one year back in like 76' and she just blew it up to Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving and it just got bigger, and bigger.""I wasn't expecting this," said Danilo Fuentes, while enjoying his meal."It's my first time- and they say they have it every year and hopefully we have it next year too.
Volunteers like Fred Green help make the event come to life. He's been helping out for 13 years and said he understands the struggle. "We just want people to feel comfortable and safe, living on the street is hard. And I myself was homeless so there's nothing they can tell me about it," said Green.
