Singapore, January 21, 2025 — Demonstrating unwavering commitment to community support across Asia Pacific, over 760 team members from Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, dedicated over 1,000 volunteer hours to collect and donate more than 3,400 kilograms (almost 7,500 pounds) of essential supplies. These efforts have benefited over 1,600 individuals, including young children, the elderly, and underserved groups, through collaboration with over 20 non-profit organizations (NGOs).
These donations were part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign, held from October to December 2024. During the campaign, FedEx team members united across the region to support their chosen charities, forming teams of various sizes. Volunteers from ten markets, including Singapore, Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, took part in the program. The donations were delivered in the campaign’s signature purple tote bags, symbolising care and compassion.
This year, FedEx team members once again united across the region, forming teams of various sizes. FedEx team members ensured the contributions made a meaningful difference and included supporting children with leukaemia, providing educational supplies, and assisting families and individuals in need. Each team worked with their chosen charities, gathering essential items such as packaged food, books, toys, winter clothing, and hygiene kits. These donations were delivered in FedEx Cares purple tote bags, symbolizing care, and compassion. Beneficiaries – including young children, the elderly, and underserved groups – received these heartfelt donations from FedEx team members.
In Singapore, FedEx partnered with local non-profit Club Rainbow for the second consecutive year, bringing joy to children with chronic illnesses over the holiday season. The collaboration fulfilled over 40 wishes, with gifts ranging from clothing and toys to sports gear. Additionally, FedEx team members donated more than 60 new books to Club Rainbow’s library, sparking imagination and hope through reading.
Kawal Preet, President of FedEx Asia Pacific, shared her enthusiasm for the campaign’s success. “At FedEx, we know that building real connections and making a difference in our communities is at the heart of what we do. The FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign is a powerful reminder of how much we can achieve when we come together to help others. It makes me incredibly proud to see our team members step up and support those in need – this reflects the values of “teamwork” and “taking care of each other” that shape who we are. Showing up for our communities where we live, and work is part of our contribution towards positive change across the region.”
Eric Tan, Managing Director of FedEx Singapore, highlighted the impact of the campaign in Singapore. “Seeing the joy on the children’s faces reminds us of the profound impact we can have when we collaborate as a team. Our continued partnership with Club Rainbow Singapore reflects our commitment to supporting disadvantaged communities, especially during the festive season. This campaign is a testament to how FedEx team members go beyond delivering packages — they deliver hope and care to those who need it the most.”
