Otis Spunkmeyer teams with Sodexo to take on food insecurity

09.12.2024

Otis Spunkmeyer and the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation have partnered this September to take on food insecurity in communities across the United States, focusing on directing much-needed support to vulnerable populations, with a spotlight on children.

As part of this effort, for every case of qualifying Otis Spunkmeyer cookies sold to Sodexo-managed or Entegra operators during September, Otis Spunkmeyer will donate $3 to the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation. The proceeds will help the Foundation’s ongoing mission to combat hunger and provide access to nutritious food for those who need it most.

Jason Heyward, Major League Baseball outfielder, has joined the campaign. In a newly released Public Service Announcement (PSA), Heyward calls on everyone to join in the fight against hunger.

“Hunger is a reality for millions of Americans, and it affects how we think, act, look, and feel,” Heyward says. "”By teaming up with Otis Spunkmeyer and the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, I'm helping to ensure that every cookie sold this month brings us closer to a future where no child goes to bed hungry.”

“This campaign is more than just raising funds—it’s about empowering communities and making real change. With Otis Spunkmeyer and Jason Heyward on board, we’re rallying people across the country to join us in this critical mission,” says Roxanne Moore, executive director of the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation.

“Otis Spunkmeyer is dedicated to making an impact. Together with the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation and Jason Heyward, we are committed to fighting food insecurity in our country,” says Paul Stippich, senior director of marketing, strategy and innovation for Aspire Bakeries.
