FedEx spreads festive cheer by supporting Filipino Youth from disadvantaged communities

FedEx Express proudly announces the commencement of the FedEx Cares Purple Tote Bag program in the Philippines. With the aim of empowering employees to make a significant impact on local communities, the program was launched on December 7, 2023, at the Action for the Care and Development of the Poor (ACAP) office in Paranaque City where FedEx  donated 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 - 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.

 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.
