We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to our amazing partners at Cloudera for their support and dedication to Cov’s youth! Cloudera #volunteers set the stage for our 'Christmas in July' activity by creating 45 stocking kits packed with treats and heartfelt holiday cards. Our Corporate Relationship Manager, Monique Iniguez, had the honor of sharing our mission during this special service day as they assembled the kits. We are deeply grateful to all our corporate partners who support our young people. Special thanks to Stephanie Han for organizing this fantastic event!

In 2018, Cisco made a historic pledge to address homelessness in Santa Clara County.  They committed $50 million in grant funding over five years – the largest corporate donation of its kind at the time - and Covenant House California is a beneficiary. "Time and time again, Cisco has stepped up for Covenant House to help provide access to safe and long-term housing opportunities for youth facing homelessness. There is a tremendous need and opportunity to help young people out of homelessness and into employment and supported by a community that really cares about them, and I know we can count on Cisco to be with us every step of the way." - Bill Bedrossian, President and CEO Covenant House International Read more about Cisco's housing journey here: https://lnkd.in/ey6cWuP9
