Liberty Dining serves United Way's Day Of Caring volunteers

Liberty Dining by Sodexo donated and served lunch during United Way's 30th Annual Day of Caring on Wednesday, May 24. The event's mission is to mobilize the compassionate power of the community to improve the quality of lives in the region.

For over two decades, Liberty Dining has provided food to feed volunteers. This year, the team served a hot lunch buffet for 600 and 165 boxed lunches. The entire management team attends to help set up and serve.

“I enjoy showing the community that we want to do our part,” said District Manager Duke Davis. “As one of the largest employers in Lynchburg, it’s important that our employees who live in the community see that we are willing to jump in and lend a hand by providing lunch for the many workers who are lending their services for the day.”

The lunch is held at the Bank of the James/Hillcats Stadium.

Resident Operations Manager Jake Clay, formerly Liberty Dining’s catering manager, has participated in twelve of these events. He said he enjoys bonding with the team in helping others throughout their community.

“Last year was the first time I helped out with Day of Caring as a member of the Sodexo senior management team,” said Marketing Manager Shelby Burton. “It was so great seeing our team of managers from Resident and Retail come together to help serve. This event supports local residents as they strive to care for others. We connect with our students during the school year, so it’s an interesting change of scenario.”
