The Servathon – All Year Round aims to strengthen the Stop Hunger Foundation's community-based philanthropy. At the beginning of the fiscal year in September, participating units and offices of Sodexo are asked to select a local food security charity for which they will raise funds throughout the year. Sodexo employees are also encouraged to volunteer and redistribute food to these organizations.

As part of this initiative, Stop Hunger offers several activities throughout the fiscal year that Sodexo employees can join.

• Discover the results of the Servathon 2021-2022​​​​​​​
• Learn more about the efforts of our Corporate Services teams for the Soup for the Soul and for the Kids event
• Discover the results of the SH Challenge, a sports competition that brought together more than 200 Sodexo employees.
• Discover the winning team of the Stop Hunger Challenge
• Read about the impact our colleague Christiane Azzi and her intern Vanessa Anoia had on a community in Haiti as part of a volunteer mission.

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation has launched the new online Goodness Platform, a volunteering platform that connects Sodexo employees with in-person and online opportunities to serve in their community and continue fighting hunger. 

If you are a Sodexo employee interested in using the Goodness Platform visit the Stop Hunger page on SodexoNet or contact us for more details.

If you are a non-profit organization fighting hunger you can register to the Goodness Platform following these steps.

The Hero(es) of Everyday Life Award recognizes Sodexo employees who are helping to reduce hunger in their community. The individual or group of individuals may also be involved in a cause other than food insecurity, but that cause will take priority. Each year, Stop Hunger Canada selects 3 nominees or 3 groups of nominees who will have the opportunity to make a donation to the charity of their choice. The most involved candidate or group of candidates will receive a $1000 donation while the two selected individuals or groups will receive a $500 donation.
