Our Stop Hunger Whitepaper, “Food Insecurity: the urgent need for a paradigm shift”, composed with the contribution of the Agency Brunswick, was written in 2022 at the request of many Stop Hunger community members, partners and friends.

Each year, between the months of April and June, Sodexo employees worldwide join forces for the Stop Hunger Servathon to volunteer, raise money and donate food in their local communities.

Volunteering is at the heart of what we do. Congratulations to Monika, Tom, Paul, Kandice and Sévrine - our 2023 Stop Hunger Volunteer Awardees – in recognition of their engagement and commitment.

Our 4 women Laureates in the spotlight: Leading impactful women empowerment initiatives in Brazil, the US, Kenya and the Philippines, we celebrated the incredible work of Michelle, Stephanie, Doreen and Laure last Thursday evening. Across four different corners of the globe, they are contributing to a hunger free world, encapsulating our conviction that sustainable solutions to hunger are possible.

What a night! On Thursday 9 March, Stop Hunger gathered donors, partners, clients, friends and volunteers at the Seine Musicale to ‘Sow golden seeds’ and plant hope for the future.

Despite it being a challenging year, we are proud of our accomplishments and progress. We have continued to extend our outreach in terms of partnership and donors, which means we were able to support 11.9 beneficiaries this year and grant $6.2 million to our NGO partners. On top of that, our Women Empowerment Programs and Yeah! (Your Engagement Against Hunger) Missions have grown in impact.

In regards to the unprecedented cost of living crisis, for Stop Hunger and its founding partner, Sodexo, waiting and watching is not an option. We began 2023 by kicking off a global campaign ‘Show your Heart, Play your part’

The Stop Hunger community is profoundly saddened by the earthquake disaster in Türkiye and Syria. To date, more than 38,000 people have been killed and tens of thousands injured. The Natural Disaster Management Agency estimates that 17 million people have been affected by the disaster and are in need of urgent shelter, food and medical aid.

As the world faces an unprecedented food crisis, emergency aid continues to save lives, and remains one of Stop Hunger’s key pillars of action. Over the past year, Stop Hunger has helped provide essential relief to over 788,000 beneficiaries facing emergency situations.

Together with our founding partner, Sodexo, we have launched a region-wide partnership with the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA). Building upon existing collaboration between the organisations at a European and local level, we have signed an agreement in line with their mutual goal of preventing food waste while encouraging food surplus donation across Europe.
