Memphis, Tenn., November 4, 2025 — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation announced FedEx as a winner of the 2025 Citizens Awards, a long-standing program that honors businesses for their leadership in solving the world’s biggest challenges. FedEx was nominated for the Best Community Improvement Program category for its efforts to help end child hunger for its collaboration with non-profit Feed the Children.
Since 2023, FedEx and Feed the Children have operated a year‑round, hub‑based program to curb childhood food insecurity, marrying FedEx’s logistics prowess with Feed the Children’s on‑the‑ground distribution expertise. Working with schools and local community nonprofits, the partners serve students and families through School Food & Essentials hubs. The shared goal: a future where no child is held back by hunger or lack of basic resources.
“FedEx is proud to work alongside Feed the Children to deliver nutritious food, essential household and personal care items, school supplies, books, and more to the Food & Essentials Hubs, serving students and families where they are,” said Jenny Robertson, SVP Marketing & Communications, FedEx. “Our team members take great pride in programs and volunteer opportunities that support our neighbors. We are committed to building strong local communities and delivering positive change around the world—starting with the places where we live and work.”
This prestigious program recognizes the most innovative and impactful initiatives that leverage a company’s talent, resources, and expertise to improve communities. That insight continues to drive the mission to remove barriers for students and families by uplifting local communities. FedEx Cares connects the passion and expertise of our team members with the resources of leading nonprofits, like Feed The Children, to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems.
