Stop Hunger Evening 2026

May. 28, 2026

30 years of solidarity

Last night, we gathered - and once again, reminded ourselves why this fight matters. Another exceptional Stop Hunger evening. And this one was truly special. 30 years. 30 years of solidarity, energy and heart given freely for one shared cause: a world where no one goes hungry. Our whole ecosystem in one room - partners, NGOs, the founding families of Sodexo and Pluxee, their clients, suppliers, donors. All united. All driven by the same conviction. That feeling never gets old.

Watering Life

Because hunger and water insecurity are inseparable. We honoured three remarkable NGOs who showed us what real impact looks like: Better With Water – 35,000+ people in the Philippines with clean water at home, and with it, a formal identity and access to opportunity for the very first time. Naandi Foundation – 3 million people across India reached through community-run water kiosks operated by women. Clean water as a catalyst for autonomy. Rendez-vous Solid'R – One new well in Guinea-Conakry already freeing women and girls from hours of daily water collection - and opening doors to education, agriculture and a more resilient future. Three countries. One truth: access to water changes everything. Three countries. One truth: access to water changes everything.

And to our four volunteer awardees

Molly Crouch, Mona Jonsson, Ezgi Tanriverdi and Alain Peschard - from four corners of the world, you were chosen to be celebrated on our 30th anniversary. Of all the years, this one. That says everything about who you are and what you represent. Thank you for being the heartbeat of this movement.

And one more thing - we broke a record!

This year, our incredible community raised 1,440,000 € - the highest amount in Stop Hunger's global annual event history.

Every euro a proof of what we can achieve together. Here's to 30 years, and everything still to come.

A heartfelt thank you to all our donors – and a special mention to our Grand Patrons, Groupe Pomona, Pro à Pro, Unilever Food Solutions, Persistent, AON and Bellon SA – whose generosity brings us closer to a world without hunger.
