Belmont University's Food Drive: Uniting to Fight Hunger

Belmont University Dining by Sodexo organized a week-long food drive from April 22nd to April 27th at Harrington Place Dining Hall. This initiative aligns with Sodexo's commitment to fighting hunger through its Stop Hunger Foundation programming.

Belmont students are encouraged to participate by donating canned food items during the Spring Semester. All nonperishable items collected will be donated to Bruin Vets at Belmont University.

Belmont's chapter of Student Veterans of America, known as Bruin Vets, is dedicated to connecting veteran students with the broader Belmont community. Through initiatives such as student-to-student mentorship, leadership development, community service, and off-campus outreach programs, Bruin Vets empowers veterans to leverage their unique military experiences for the benefit of others.

This food drive illustrates Sodexo's commitment to community engagement and its role in addressing hunger issues.

Chuck Couture, Resident District Manager at Belmont Dining by Sodexo, emphasizes the collective impact of the food drive, stating, "Joining forces for Bruin Vets, let's make a difference in Belmont Dining's food drive, where every donation echoes with the power of solidarity and compassion."

The Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation mobilizes experts, innovators, volunteers, and donors to combat child hunger in the U.S. and advocate for policies ensuring a hunger-free future. Sodexo employees actively support Stop Hunger initiatives year-round through volunteerism and fundraising efforts.
