FedEx bolsters Community Support with volunteering efforts across MENA
Over 1,800kgs of supplies delivered to more than 300 beneficiaries in the UAE and Egypt
FedEx Express (FedEx) team members in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) supported more than 1,800 kilograms of much-needed food and non-food supplies for more than 300 beneficiaries from non-profit organizations (NGOs) of their choice.
These contributions were made as part of the FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign, which empowers FedEx team members to come together and support the causes they value most in their local communities, according to a press communique.
In the UAE, FedEx teams joined forces to sort and deliver essential goods to Senses, a residential and day care in Dubai for children and adults of determination. Volunteers across the UAE packed Purple Totes for the NGO, highlighting the spirit of giving that is deeply rooted in the FedEx culture.
Egypt as beneficiary
These efforts have been extended to Egypt, where FedEx team members contributed to the wellbeing of children at the Awlady Orphanage in Cairo. In a combined effort, the volunteers collected food and necessary items, including sports gear and toys, for the NGO.
This was complemented by a ‘Fun day at Awlady Orphanage’, where the FedEx team members engaged with children in various activities and birthday celebrations, bringing them joy and laughter.
“The dedication of our team members exemplifies our core belief that we move the world forward not just by delivering packages, but by delivering kindness and care where it’s needed the most,” stated Taarek Hinedi, vice president of FedEx Middle East and Africa operations.
