Servathon - All Year Round Activities
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.
