VALDOSTA - 美高梅博彩’s Campus 餐厅, operated
by Sodexo Campus Services, will serve more than 100 people at the
Valdosta Soup Kitchen on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20-21, in
continued support to help stop hunger.
The university’s food service provider is committed to encouraging
it’s employees to fight hunger in their communities and to promote
hunger awareness. Each winter, thousands of Sodexo employees help
raise money, donate food and serve meals in communities across the
country.
“Our hope is that this event will truly make a difference for those
who are just ‘getting by’ and experiencing the devastating effects
of hunger,” said Rich Yokeley, Sodexo Campus Services general
manager at vs上. “It presents each of us with the opportunity to
reach out to help strengthen our community.”
Just last week, Campus 餐厅 sponsored a canned food drive at vs上
that helped bring in more than 3,400 lbs of food and $600 in
financial donations, both benefiting America’s Second Harvest of
South Georgia’s Valdosta Food Bank.
Hunger currently affects 35 million people in the U.S., including
more than 12.4 million children. Since 1999, Sodexo and the Sodexo
Foundation, have been committed to being a driving and creative
force that contributes to a hunger-free nation, one community at a
time. The Sodexo Foundation (www.helpstophunger.org) is an
independent charitable organization leading the fight against
hunger by supporting initiatives that focus on eliminating the root
causes of hunger in the U.S.
Administrative costs are paid by Sodexo, Inc. to ensure that 100
percent of donations go directly to serving those in need.

Facts 关于 Hunger
America’s Second Harvest defines the hungry as those who can’t buy
enough food to meet basic nutritional needs. The USDA currently
states that more than 35 million Americans* are at risk of hunger,
including more than 12.4 million children. Sodexo’s STOP Hunger
initiative takes action to raise money, increase hunger awareness
and provide essential community services that really matter.
Hunger and the Working Poor
In the last decade, hunger-relief agencies have found that the
greatest increase in Americans at risk of hunger has been among the
working poor. Despite the strong economy and their own hard work,
they often must choose between paying for food or other basic needs
like shelter, health care, childcare, utilities and transportation
costs. This troubling dilemma is leaving some of our most
vulnerable citizens, children and the elderly, at risk of hunger.
In fact, nearly half of America’s hungry are children and the
elderly. The working poor (employed adults with low-paying jobs)
are now the fastest-growing group at emergency food programs
throughout the nation.
