Sodexo sets the month of April and May aside to join forces globally to fight hunger in local communities. Employees gain gratifying experiences while developing important team-building skills. Servathon activities include fundraisers, food drives, volunteering at food banks, donating surplus food and payroll deductions.

Sodexo's top priority after preventing food waste is to feed the hungry. As part of Sodexo's Better Tomorrow roadmap, our Stop Hunger program encourages all of our accounts to divert surplus food by donating to local charities to help feed those most in need. Sodexo donates surplus perishable and non-perishable food to Feeding America members and other local food banks across the country. Donating food that would otherwise go to waste not only feeds hungry people, it helps the environment by reducing food waste.

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation has several partnerships within Sodexo’s supplier network through which products are sold to Sodexo accounts and consumers and a portion of the sale benefits the Foundation.

All Sodexo employees have the opportunity to contribute to the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation by donating a portion of their paycheck. All donations are matched 100% by Sodexo, Inc.

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation funds many community garden projects through our YSA partnership and the Youth Grant Program. Community gardens provide opportunities for those in need to eat fresh fruits and vegetables they may not have the opportunity to buy. Gardens also educate children on the importance of eating healthy.
