FedEx is partnering with the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation to deliver holiday cheer to military families across the United States. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Trees for Troops program, which has provided over 300,000 Christmas trees to troops and their families since its inception.
Marvin Hill, a veteran and FedEx Human Resources Project Advisor, expressed pride in supporting the foundation's work. He shared his personal experience, stating, "When I was on active duty, I had just returned home from serving in Iraq and was reassigned to serve in Tampa. Although all of our belongings were on a moving truck to our new home, we were elated to receive the gift of a tree. It made Tampa feel more like home during the holidays."
This year, more than 15,000 trees will be delivered to 93 military bases across the country. These trees are donated by tree farms and garden centers nationwide. FedEx utilizes its extensive global network for transportation and has logged over a million miles delivering these trees since 2005.
