Stop Hunger, 30 years fighting for a hunger-free world

Stop Hunger, Sodexo's unique philanthropic cause, celebrates three decades of collective action against hunger - reaching the landmark milestone of over 100 million people since 2015 and calling for greater private sector mobilization.

Thirty years ago, a group of Sodexo US employees decided their company had a role to play in the fight against hunger. What began as a shared conviction has since grown into one of the most far-reaching non-profit movements in the fight against hunger. In May 2026, Stop Hunger marks its 30th anniversary - and with it, a defining milestone: more than 100 million people supported since 2015.

The anniversary comes at a critical moment. Today, nearly 735 million people still face hunger worldwide, while more than 2 billion experience food insecurity - including in developed countries, where inflation and economic instability leave entire communities increasingly vulnerable. The scale of the challenge has never been greater. So has the urgency to act.
