HONG KONG SAR, China, January 17, 2023 — FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has launched a community outreach program in Hong Kong in cooperation with Green Monday, a non-government organization that promotes sustainable living through adopting a plant-based diet to combat climate change, food insecurity, and public health issues.
The program involves a series of community events including distributing nutritious meals and donating healthy food to the elderly, low-income families and the homeless.
The first community event took place on January 15. More than 50 FedEx and Green Monday volunteers together with their family members visited Lai Kok Estate, Lai On Estate and Un Chau Estate in Lai Chi Kok, and delivered festive gift boxes to 80 households living with vulnerable elderly persons, including single seniors and families of elder couples. The event brought warmth and festival blessings ahead of the Lunar New Year.
“As a responsible company, FedEx is driven to developing far-reaching corporate citizenship programs that promote a culture of diversity, inclusion and global volunteerism. For this festive season, we are delighted that the community outreach program has contributed to uplifting the lives of people in need and made a positive difference in our local communities,” said Anthony Leung, managing director, FedEx Express Hong Kong and Macau. “Seeing how the elderly chatted happily with our volunteer team and felt our care and warmth upon receiving the festive gift boxes further motivates us to continue adhering to our spirit of serving the community.”
FedEx delivers corporate social responsibility by strategically investing people, resources and networks to support and positively impact the communities and people it serves through community programs. Our ultimate goal is to bring hope, change and new possibilities to 50 million people by 2023, our company’s 50th anniversary.
