XO Communications, Inc. (www.xo.com) announced its small and medium sized business hosting brand, Concentric, is teaming with America's Second Harvest (www.secondharvest.org) - the Nation's Food Bank Network, to improve hunger relief efforts during the holiday season.

XO is waiving all new customer set-up fees of $25.00 for new Concentric hosting customers that opt to donate a minimum of $25.00 to the America's Second Harvest food bank.

"We are excited to be working with America's Second Harvest to encourage awareness of hunger in America, and to help fund the strong efforts made by this valuable organization," said Barbara Branaman, vice president and general manager of the XO hosting business unit.

America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network, is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States and Puerto Rico. With over 200 member food bank and food-rescue organizations, a full 98% of all product and money donations go directly to feed hungry people rather than administration or fundraising.

"We are grateful for XO's commitment to helping end hunger," said Bob Forney, President and CEO of America's Second Harvest. "This effort will raise visibility of the need for hunger-relief for our cause throughout the holiday season and offers an opportunity for people to learn about America's Second Harvest."

The Concentric web hosting packages offer generous allocations of email, traffic and disk space, with plans starting as low as $7.95 per month with a 24-month term commitment.

America's Second Harvest—The Nation's Food Bank Network, is the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization with a national network of more than 200 regional food banks and food-rescue programs, serving all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
