 Honoring Hunger-Fighting Heroes

Since 1996, Stop Hunger has recognized 169 Sodexo employees as Heroes of Everyday Life®, awarding $813,000 in grants to the hunger-relief organizations they serve. These Heroes go above and beyond, dedicating their time, energy and ideas to helping communities rise above food insecurity. In addition to being awarded $5,000 for a hunger-relief organization, each Hero will be invited to attend an all-expenses paid trip to the 2026 Sodexo Charity Classic presented by PepsiCo on June 3rd, 4th and 5th in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During the annual fundraiser, Heroes will be recognized and celebrated for their contributions to ending hunger. Their impact is celebrated annually at the Sodexo Charity Classic, inspiring others in the fight against hunger.
