Empowering Through Nutrition

Contributed towards ending child hunger 

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation stands firm in its mission to create a world where every child can flourish. In 2023 alone, Stop Hunger distributed 2.5 million meals, highlighting our impact and commitment to this cause. Beyond providing meals, our foundation is a catalyst for change, driving forward initiatives that not only address immediate food needs but also advocate for systemic solutions to eradicate hunger. Leveraging the strength of Sodexo's global network, we engage in capacity building, support innovative solutions, and utilize our resources to ensure a sustainable impact. Our efforts extend beyond today's aid to foster a future where hunger is history
