    Needs-based Takeaway

    For some children, school meals are the only nutritious food they regularly have access to. Our solutions for fighting food insecurity include providing additional meals to students in need. Second-chance breakfast, supper programs and weekend meals bridge gaps in food availability and ensure students have healthy, nutritious food outside of school lunch hours.

    Food Insecurity Initiatives

    Fighting food insecurity is core to Sodexo’s mission. For nearly 30 years, the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation has been supporting local community initiatives to end hunger. At the district level, backpack programs provide meals and snacks for students to take home, and food pantries offer a reliable source of nutrition for families in need.

    Emergency Feeding

    Hunger has been a growing issue in the U.S. for years, but the pandemic and recent economic factors have accelerated the rate of that growth. Sodexo’s mobile kitchens enable us to bring food to the places in our communities where it’s most needed. And mobile kitchens make it easy for those with transportation issues and other barriers to get food.
