FedEx Cares campaign celebrated across India

FedEx recently concluded the FedEx Cares campaign, its annual initiative to benefit local communities. Over 1,100 FedEx team members across 25 cities in India were involved in community outreach activities, clocking more than 3,200 hours of volunteer work. FedEx Cares is an annual global volunteering initiative where FedEx team members and their families donate their personal time and effort in giving back to their local communities. In its fourth consecutive year in India, FedEx team members participated in various activities focused on the environment and society. David Canavan, vice president, Operations, FedEx Express India said, “FedEx Cares is a global show of unity and a demonstration of our continued dedication to contributing to our local communities. This is the fourth successful year of running the programme in India. We continue to remain committed to the initiative by encouraging team members to volunteer with local non-profit organizations.” FedEx Cares in India complements the volunteer activities taking place globally. Over the past 10 years the programme has expanded to nearly 400 cities around the world. In addition to thousands of volunteer hours each year, FedEx donated more than $46 million in total contributions in 2013.
