Aramark has honored Ben Hernandez, Aramark’s district executive chef with Baylor University, as the company's 2015 Volunteer of the Year in recognition of his commitment to volunteer service and leadership in his community.
The global foodservice provider acknowledges employees' extraordinary efforts to live the company's mission to enrich and nourish lives through the Aramark Volunteer Awards, which are presented annually. Hernandez’s award includes a grant from Aramark to Mission Waco, the culinary career-training program Hernandez created and leads.
"Every day, Aramark employees like Ben live our mission to enrich and nourish lives," said Eric Foss, Aramark CEO, in a statement. "I am extremely proud of Ben, and all of our volunteers, who demonstrate such passion for serving the community each and every day. Their dedication to helping others is unrivaled."
Hernandez is one of 26 employees around the world being honored by Aramark this year.
