LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aspire Bakeries proudly presented a record donation of $160,698 to the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation during the annual Sodexo Charity Classic held on June 5 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The donation was generated through Aspire Bakeries’ Fall 2025 cause-marketing campaign across the Sodexo and Entegra enterprise. Through the program, a portion of sales from qualifying Otis Spunkmeyer® products between September and December 2025 was donated to the Foundation to support its mission to combat food insecurity, particularly among children and other vulnerable populations.
Aspire Bakeries’ and Otis Spunkmeyer’s partnership with the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation reflects the meaningful impact that can be achieved through everyday foodservice purchases when companies work together for a greater good.
“This was the second year of our cause-marketing campaign with the Stop Hunger Foundation aimed at helping to fight food insecurity,” said Mark Goldrainer of Aspire Bakeries, who oversees the partnership. “This year, we significantly surpassed our 2025 donation thanks to an expanded campaign period, additional qualifying products, and stronger engagement with operators and customers through enhanced communications and a comprehensive suite of point-of-sale materials.”
During the Sodexo Charity Classic, Aspire Bakeries representatives Chris Prociv, Scott Gosselin, Mark Goldrainer, and Paul Stippich presented the donation to Sodexo and Foundation representatives Joan McGlockton, Roxanne Moore, and Dave Kourie.
“As a proud supply partner to Sodexo for more than 25 years, we are honored to support the Stop Hunger Foundation through this donation, which reflects our shared commitment to addressing food insecurity,” said Chris Prociv, Chief Growth Officer of Aspire Bakeries. “As a food company, we believe everyone deserves access to nutritious meals, and we value this meaningful partnership that helps make a positive difference in the lives of children and families in need.”
Building on this momentum, the Otis Spunkmeyer team is planning the Fall 2026 campaign, with efforts underway to expand the program’s reach and generate an even greater impact across North America.
As part of Aspire Bakeries and Otis Spunkmeyer’s growing commitment to the Foundation’s mission, they will be the primary sponsor of the Stop Hunger Foundation’s Community Rebuilding Project (CRP). Scheduled for September 2026, the initiative will support the recovery and rebuilding efforts in Altadena, California, following the devastating Southern California wildfires of 2025.
Through this ongoing partnership, Otis Spunkmeyer, Aspire Bakeries, and the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation continue to demonstrate how businesses can drive meaningful social impact while delivering value to the customers and communities they serve.
