This year, Liberty Dining served between 600-650 dedicated volunteers a hot lunch buffet and provided boxed lunches. The entire management team participated, assisting with setup, and serving to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.

“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 for our employees to see that we are committed to lending a hand by providing lunch for the many workers volunteering their time and effort.”

The lunch was held at the Bank of the James/Hillcats Stadium, a fitting venue for such a community-driven event. Resident Operations Manager Jake Clay, who has been involved in twelve of these events, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative. “I enjoy bonding with the team and helping others in our community,” he said.

Director of Catering Donna Casalenuovo reflected on her experience helping out with the Day of Caring as a member of the Sodexo senior management team. “Since I grew up here, I always run into a few volunteers that I know personally, which is a huge treat for me. I also really enjoyed getting to work with managers from other units on campus and showing them that the catering department takes pride in and has fun with what we do.”

Liberty Dining's commitment to the Day of Caring demonstrates dedication to community involvement and the spirit of giving back, reinforcing the importance of solidarity and support within the Lynchburg area.
