FedEx Spreads Festive Cheer by Supporting Filipino Youth from Disadvantaged Communities
More
than 2,200 team members from FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp.
(NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies,
have been actively collecting over 8,000 kilograms of much-needed supplies for
more than 30 non-profit organizations (NGOs) of choice across the Asia Pacific,
Middle East, and Africa (AMEA) region. In the Philippines, FedEx collaborated
with local NGO, Action for the Care and Development of the Poor (ACAP) in Parañaque
City, to donate school supplies to 100 beneficiaries under ACAP's programs.
This year team members came together in
teams of all sizes across the region. Each team worked with their charities of
choice and collected goods they needed most and distributed them to the
charities in FedEx Cares purple tote bags. Over 2,400 beneficiaries including
young children, the elderly and the underserved groups received goods with love
from FedEx team members.
"One of our core values at FedEx is connecting people and possibilities. Not only are we committed to supporting our customers, we are also striving to bring hope and opportunities to local communities," said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx Express Philippines. "As we embark on our 40th year of operations in the country this year, we look forward to continue serving communities and creating a better future for our next generation.”
As part of FedEx Cares, team
members around the globe are encouraged to come together to ‘Drive forward.
Give back’ by volunteering and doing countless acts of caring throughout the
year. Earlier In April 2023, FedEx teams across AMEA came together under the
’50 Days of Caring’ to support FedEx 50th anniversary. This program
mobilized more than 1,000 FedEx volunteers and their families in
community-based activities focused on sustainability and environmental
protection, education, welfare, and support for the underserved. Learn more at fedexcares.com.
