This Isn’t Your Typical Food DRIVE

At Sodexo, we have been recognized and awarded for our efforts to end childhood hunger through the Stop Hunger Foundation. It is customary to see decorated cardboard boxes around the office collecting donations or volunteer teams organizing food drives.

These changes demonstrate Sodexo’s commitment to Quality of Life values both for our unit staff and for our consumers.
