We are proud to announce this year’s recipients of the Sodexo Canada Stop Hunger Foundation Scholarships, in honour of Gina Gentleman. These scholarships recognize Sodexo Canada employees or their immediate family members who have shown exceptional community involvement through volunteering for a cause close to their hearts.

Through their academic dedication and outstanding volunteer work, they embody the mission and values of both Stop Hunger and Sodexo, while paying tribute to Gina Gentleman for her over 40 years of service to vulnerable communities.

This year, we are thrilled to celebrate the following recipients:

Rebecca Versluis

Rebecca is an inspiring and driven member of our team at Redeemer University. She is in her fourth year at Redeemer University, studying Politics and International Studies.

Rebecca’s community involvement includes volunteering with Deeds, a student-driven initiative on campus, distributing hot chocolate every Friday to homeless and vulnerable individuals. She also serves as a mentor with Big Sister and Big Brother, and volunteers at Micah House, providing meals to refugees.

You are truly an inspiration to us all, Rebecca—thank you!
