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., have been actively collecting over 8,000 kilograms of muchneeded 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.

These donations of supplies were made as part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign which ran between October to December 2023 to empower FedEx team members to come together and support the NGOs they value most in their local communities. FedEx volunteers from 18 markets in the region including Australia, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Namibia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates,

Singapore, South Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines took part in the program.

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.”
