Donate today!A Movement to End Hunger
Stop Hunger, Sodexo’s philanthropic foundation, is more than a cause — it’s a global movement powered by action. What began with a group of Sodexo employees determined to feed children during school breaks has grown into a worldwide force for change. Our strength comes from dedicated volunteers, trusted NGO partners and the support of our founding partner, Sodexo. Because hunger is not an option, and together we can build a future where no one goes hungry.
Our Beliefs

Empower
Beyond food aid, Stop Hunger invests in youth-led solutions and workforce programs that break the cycle of poverty, equipping individuals with skills, education and opportunities for lasting change.
