For the past 16 years Cisco has partnered with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to tackle food insecurity during the Virtual Race to End Hunger. And each year, we have won the race, outraising teams from the Bay Area in donations. While we’re proud of our track record, we're aiming our sights even higher to make a difference globally. That’s why we’ve created a fund to fight hunger globally. Donate to the below organizations through this fund or find a food pantry or hunger relief organization closer to you.

As I'm sure many are aware there was an attack on the Moore County, NC Power Grid Saturday leaving 48,000 people without power for 5 days so far, some are still waiting. While some of us are blessed with employers that will continue to pay us (Thank you Cisco!) and money to replace all the food they had to throw away, many are not. I'm hoping the Cisco Community can help those in our Moore County who are struggling get back on their feet.
