The donation drive is part of the annual "FedEx Cares - Purple Heart Bag" campaign. Conducted from October to December 31, 2024, this initiative aims to empower FedEx team members to understand the impact of their actions and support local non-profits they care about most. Volunteers from Australia, mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and New Zealand participated in this event.

Each team collaborated with chosen charities to collect essential items like packaged food, books, toys, winter clothing, and hygiene products for distribution through "FedEx Cares Purple Heart Bags." Recipients included children, seniors, and disadvantaged groups.
