During this time of the year most people are thinking about their communty. UAB Campus Restaurants prides itslef on being involved in the Birmingham Community. Your dining team is made up of people right from your local community who are proud to serve you every day. From menu and event planning, to community food drives and wellness education, your local dining team wants to make sure you have an exceptional experience whenever you dine with us. Sodexo is also committed to supporting local community development and sourcing local, seasonal and sustainably grown or raised products. We proudly purchase products from over 700 local farms to feed students and guests in the same state or region. Sodexo is committed to fighting hunger and malnutrition by engaging the entire Sodexo community including employees, customers, clients and suppliers. 17 million children in the USo what happens to all those left-over dry goods that UAB Campus Restaurants can't use? They are donated to Magic City Harvest, a local Birmingham Food Bank. During Thanksgiving and Christmas break- when you get to go home and enjoy a hot homecooked meal by Mom, UAB donates any parishable food items to Magic City Harvest as well. Since August, UAB has been particiating in the hot food recovery program with Magic City Harvest. Any hot food that is not eaten from dinner at the commons is bagged and frozen. Magic City Harvest picks up the food three times per week and distributes it to local shelters. For more information check out For Your Community - part of Sodexo's Better Tomorrow Plan. |
