[Sodexo Stops Hunger ](http://blogs.sodexousa.com/hunger/2010/09/24/fighting-hunger-with-a-little-help-from-our-friends/)

*By Erin Peschel, Sodexo director of sales & national marketing for conference centers*

Would you ‘lift a finger’ to help the one in eight Americans who does not have enough food to eat? That was the question we asked ourselves – and customers of [The Conference Center at NorthPointe ](www.facebook.com/Npointe "Facebook Page")(Ohio) and the [Phoenix Conference Centers ](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phoenix-AZ/Phoenix-Conference-Centers/136988432990310?ref=ts&__a=21& "Facebook Page")(Arizona), offering to donate a meal to the local food bank for every person who clicked the ‘like’ button on our Facebook page.

More than 300 people including employees, relatives, friends, customers – and even our customers’ customers joined up, resulting in a donation of more than 400 meals to the [Mid-Ohio Food bank ](http://www.midohiofoodbank.org/ " Food Bank Link")and [St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance](http://www.firstfoodbank.org/ " Food Bank").

 

The conversations we “overheard” on Facebook told us a bunch…

 

Toby Boyce was encouraged to leverage the power of social media to support “a great-great cause!” He also teased that he hoped to make it an ‘expensive’ promotion for [Sodexo](http://www.sodexousa.com " Sodexo Website").

 

Phoenix customer Heather Rochefort was motivated by her experience with Sodexo as well as the importance of the cause, sharing “I don’t usually do this, but it’s a good legit cause from a convention center I work with a lot here in Phoenix.” She also encouraged her social media network to join her “I helped fight hunger in Phoenix and you can too!”
