Food Drive Success!

This is actually a plug for a good cause, replicated from our company blog.

Diane ran a Give-Back-This-Holiday-Season sprint with our team. It was as simple and fun as it was meaningful---we got to vote on our favorite consensus, which turned out to be the Food Bank of the Bay Area.

We collected donations, which was matched 1:1 from company coffers, then went shopping at Costco. This is something Alan E. does annually with the team at Google, too.

We chatted with Tometrius P. who runs the Second Harvest Food Bank center in San Carlos. The need is up sharply this year, which was expected. Somewhat unexpected was that donations were down. So please pass the word---you can truly make a real difference.
