FedEx volunteers boost aid to vulnerable communities

FedEx team members across Asia Pacific have mobilised over 900 volunteers in a significant community impact effort, contributing more than 750 volunteer hours and donating nearly 2,500 kilograms of essential supplies. This initiative, part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign, took place between October and December 2025, involving collaboration with over 15 non-profit organisations (NGOs) across 10 markets, including Singapore, Japan, and Australia.

The campaign, which saw a 13% increase in volunteer participation from the previous year, provided aid to over 350 individuals, including children with leukaemia, the elderly, and families affected by natural disasters. FedEx Singapore, for instance, supported Club Rainbow by donating 97 kilograms of supplies, benefiting more than 80 individuals.

Salil Chari, President of Asia Pacific at FedEx, emphasised the importance of community action, stating, “Community is built through action, and the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together to help others.”

The campaign highlights the growing emphasis on social impact within the workplace, driven by local community needs and cross-border collaboration. FedEx’s commitment to community support is further demonstrated by its global contributions in FY25, which included $55.5m to nonprofit initiatives and over 81,000 volunteer hours.

FedEx continues to encourage its team members worldwide to engage in volunteer activities, promoting charitable giving and in-kind shipping services to support the communities where they live and work.
