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.

THE GOODNESS PLATFORM: OUR VOLUNTEERING PLATFORM

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.
