Mission: Sodexo Foundation -- Our Mission is to be a driving and creative force that contributes to a hunger-free nation. More than 36 million Americans, including 12.4 million children, are food-insecure and at risk of hunger. In order to pursue our mission of creating a hunger-free nation, we seek to address the root causes of hunger. Therefore, we support initiatives that help break the cycle of poverty.

Programs: Across the U.S., more than 89% of children who depend on federal food programs for free and reduced-price lunches during the school year go without nutritious lunches during the summer - that's 16 million children. "Under-nutrition, along with environmental factors associated with poverty, can permanently retard a child's physical growth, brain development, and cognitive functioning.*" To help alleviate this problem, we established Feeding Our Future in 1997. This program prepares nutritious meals for under-nourished children that would otherwise go hungry during the summer months.
