As Infoblox\u2019s Giving Season comes to a close, we\u2019re reflecting on the incredible power of collective action and the impact we\u2019ve made together. From November through December, Infoblox Giving Season is a time dedicated to giving back, celebrating the Bloxers who lead with heart and demonstrating how even small acts of kindness can create a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season, we spotlighted Bloxers<\/strong><\/a> who each found their own way to turn compassion into action\u2014from jumping out of airplanes for charity to responding to midnight rescue calls and mentoring students from coastal and tribal communities. Their stories remind us that when we show up for others, we help build a more hopeful, connected world. <\/p>\n

Now, as we look back at Infoblox\u2019s Giving Season, we\u2019re reflecting on the collective impact Bloxers have made together in our offices, communities and far beyond.<\/p>\n

Giving Season 2025<\/h3>\n

\u202f
\nThis year, the spirit of giving reached new heights. Bloxers rallied in 13 global locations, with 296 volunteers logging an incredible 749 hours of service. Our goal of 2,600 volunteer hours in FY26 feels closer than ever, thanks to this record-breaking season. Alongside these efforts, we amplified our impact with two double-match campaigns: the first, addressing food insecurity, raised over $10,000; the second, supporting Giving Tuesday, raised an additional $8,000. But numbers only tell part of the story. Behind every hour volunteered, every dollar donated and every act of kindness is a Bloxer who chose to make a difference. <\/p>\n

Throughout the season, Bloxers supported local nonprofit organizations through direct volunteering, donation matching, food and clothing drives, and countless acts of kindness. At our Santa Clara headquarters, Bloxers volunteered at the Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to sort 16,200 pounds of fresh produce. Additional in-office initiatives supported the spirit of generosity, including charity bins for Toys for Tots and Sacred Heart, as well as on-site volunteer sessions where no-sew blankets were crafted and donated to Project Linus. Meanwhile, in Tacoma, in-office food and toy drives supported the Comprehensive Life Resources nonprofit. Bloxers in Tacoma also volunteered with the Making a Difference Foundation to distribute food to over 500 cars and feeding 800 families ahead of Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

In Bengaluru, teams partnered with Rise Against Hunger to pack 20,000 meals for remote and tribal communities. In Malaysia, volunteers joined the same partner to assemble more than 20,000 meal packages for those affected by devastating floods in Sri Lanka. George Loo, senior director of Enterprise Support, volunteered at the Malaysia event and reflected, \u201cAs I handle each meal, I feel the stark contrast between what\u2019s ordinary in my life could be a lifeline for someone else. It makes me feel both grateful and humbled.\u201d<\/p>\n

In New York City, Bloxers at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen helped prepare and serve meals to serve 107 households. The impact continued in Dallas where volunteers at Bill\u2019s Helping Hand assisted 175 people by packing and carrying groceries to cars. Jennifer Evans, the Dallas volunteer lead shared, \u201cVolunteering matters so much to me because I want to be part of the solution. Everyone\u2019s in a different season of life, some just need a little extra support. It brings me joy to help in any way I can, even if it\u2019s just a small part of someone\u2019s journey. Kindness really does make the world go round.\u201d<\/p>\n

The impact didn\u2019t stop there. Infoblox\u2019s reach during Giving Season spanned the globe, with Bloxers making a difference in communities near and far. In Boston, the team volunteered with the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, while in Burnaby they partnered with the Greater Vancouver Foodbank. In Paris, Bloxers supported l’Un Est l’Autre, in Singapore, Krsna\u2019s Free Meals, and in Chicago, the Northern Illinois Food Bank. In Washington DC, volunteers laid wreaths with Wreaths Across America and in Florida, volunteers packed meals with Feeding South Florida. Through our giving program, each hour volunteered was matched with a company donation credit, empowering volunteers to further support causes close to their hearts.<\/p>\n

Angie Ng, corporate recruiter and HR specialist, shared, \u201cVolunteering allowed me to connect with colleagues beyond our roles, building genuine relationships through a shared purpose and a common desire to make a difference.\u201d Her reflection perfectly captures the spirit of Giving Season, where shared acts of kindness fostered deeper connections among Bloxers and amplified our collective impact in communities around the world. <\/p>\n

Behind every hour logged is a team that coordinated schedules, an individual who chose to show up and a community partner working tirelessly on the front lines. Together, they represent a growing culture of giving at Infoblox and one that extends far beyond a single campaign or quarter. As we look ahead to the rest of FY26 and beyond, we\u2019re inspired by what this community has already achieved\u2014and excited to see how Bloxers will continue to show up for one another and for the world around us.<\/p>\n

To every Bloxer who volunteered, donated, or shared their story this season: thank you.<\/p>\n
