Our Campbell and San Jose teams recently wrapped up the Second Harvest 2016 48-Hour Virtual Race to End Hunger. The event took place November 15 – 17, and raised a total of $683,250.19 for Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB). That's going to pay for over 1.3 million meals to be distributed through the 850+ meal sites that SHFB supplies.
Second Harvest Food Bank is based in Silicon Valley and is one of the largest food banks in the nation. It was founded in 1974 and currently partners with a network of more than 320 nonprofit partners. SHFB seeks to increase access to food resources and to supply an additional 100,000 hungry people each month. The food bank already serves more than a quarter of a million people each month.
Today we'd like to introduce you to Jonathan Farnsworth, a Software Engineer in Nottingham, UK. Jonathan joined us in 2008 as part of the 3SP acquisition, where he worked part-time while working on his PhD. Shortly after the acquisition, Jonathan finished his thesis and became a full-time engineer on the Barracuda SSL VPN.
