Each year, Drake Dining donates unused flex dollars to help fight hunger both locally and globally. Unused Flex money left over at the end of the year is donated to Sodexo’s Stop Hunger Foundation. The organization uses the money to help provide nutritious meals to children and support food pantry programs, food recovery programs, and community gardens. This year, the Stop Hunger Foundation awarded a grant to help the Sprout Garden construct hoop houses over the raised beds, put up signage, and seed/plant garden beds. In June, more than $32,000 of leftover flex money was donated to the Stop Hunger Foundation.
