Donations for Feeding America®, the North Texas
Foodbank and European Charities Will Provide Millions of Meals to
People in Need
In response to the economic and community challenges brought on
by the COVID-19 pandemic, CyrusOne Inc. (NASDAQ: CONE), a premier
global data center real estate investment trust (REIT), on behalf
of all its employees, is donating $250,000 in addition to personal
donations from CyrusOne’s leadership team, and a $50,000 personal
donation from CyrusOne’s President and CEO, Tesh Durvasula, to
Feeding America®, Member Food Bank, the North Texas Foodbank, as
well as charities in Europe. The donations will help fund millions
of meals for people in need.
According to the USDA, more than 37 million people, 11 million
of whom are children, face hunger in the United States. The
COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increased demand for local
food banks. School closures, rising unemployment, and rising
poverty due to quarantine and stay-at-home orders will
disproportionately impact people already at risk of hunger and
could result in an estimated additional 17.1 million people
experiencing food insecurity.
“In this unprecedented moment, we all need to come together
across the world to help people in need. Our donation, on behalf of
all CyrusOne team members, helps provide food and resources at a
time of intense hardship. I am so proud of how passionately our
CyrusOne family in the United States and Europe have responded to
help our local communities in Texas and around the world,” said
Tesh Durvasula, CEO and President, at CyrusOne.
“Feeding America is thankful to CyrusOne for its commitment to
helping our neighbors who may not know where they will find their
next meal. Their generous donation will help people hardest hit by
this pandemic,” said Lauren Biedron, Vice President of Corporate
Partnerships at Feeding America.
