Servathon
Sodexo employees working to end hunger by volunteering in their local communities.
More than 35,000 Sodexo employees in 20 countries across five continents took part in this 2009 “Servathon,” Sodexo's global initiative to help people affected by hunger and malnutrition through fundraising and food distribution. Now in its 12th year, Servathon is part of Sodexo's global STOP Hunger program, launched in the United States in 1996 by CEO Michel Landel.
This year's campaign included Sodexo teams in twelve new countries where the company operates who joined with thousands of fellow Sodexo employees to help disadvantaged people in their communities throughout the month of April. New participating countries included Peru, the Czech Republic, Malaysia and Colombia.
In total, Sodexo employees helped collect more than 100,000 kilograms of food during this year's Servathon.
