Stop Hunger


What is Stop Hunger?

Stop Hunger was founded in the US in 1996 and has been adopted by Sodexo in over 40 countries.  It aims to raise money to support local charities which tackle hunger and malnutrition, promote healthy lifestyles or develop life skills such as cooking.


Around the world Stop Hunger:

  • Is active in over 40 countries
  • Involves 30,000 employee volunteers
  • Serves nearly 2.9 million meals to people in need
  • Raised €2.5 million last year

In the UK & Ireland alone last year we raised nearly £500,000


How can I do my bit?

What brings Stop Hunger to life is the fantastic support you provide through fundraising and support activities, both inside and outside of the business.

There are some great ways you can support Stop Hunger. 


Payroll giving

Donating to Stop Hunger through payroll giving gives you the biggest bang for your buck as you can contribute monthly from your salary before tax.

That means if you commit to £1 a month, it will only cost you 80p. What's more, Sodexo will contribute 50p for every £1 you give, up to a cap of £25,000.

If everyone gave just £1 a month, we could raise well over £400k in a single year. Add that to our current fundraising and we would nearly reach our target of £1m a year.
