Summary

Ringing In Festivus: You Light Up Our Festivus Tree, We’ll Donate to The SF Food Bank` Festivus is a holiday that aims to give back to the community. This year, Dropcam and Twilio are celebrating by setting up an interactive Festivus pole at their headquarters, where users can control the lights via SMS. To make it more engaging, every time a user texts in, a dollar's worth of food will be donated to the San Francisco Food Bank until a total of $10,000 is reached. The event will be livestreamed on social media platforms and will conclude with an airing of grievances and feats of strength on December 24th.
