Giving Tuesday 2024

This Giving Tuesday, Stop Hunger is flipping the script!

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation believes in giving back in the most meaningful ways. That’s why this year, instead of asking for donations, we’re granting out funds to empower Sodexo employees and their communities to fight hunger where it matters most—locally.

From food pantries to neighborhood meal programs, our employees know their communities’ needs better than anyone, and we’re proud to support your efforts to create a world where no one goes hungry. Because giving isn’t just about money—it’s about impact. Together, we're all working to stop hunger this holiday season!

Please join us in congratulating the 27 Sodexo employees who are each receiving a Stop Hunger $2,500 Community Grant to award to their local charity of choice. Happy Giving Tuesday!
