FedEx and Operation Warm have collaborated to support students in Carolina, Puerto Rico, by donating 330 pairs of new shoes to children at Jesús María Sanromá Public School. This initiative is aimed at alleviating the financial burden on families while promoting student health and well-being through outdoor activities. The event marks the third consecutive year of collaboration in Puerto Rico, as part of a broader effort to distribute over 13,000 pairs of shoes this spring to students across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and South America.
The initiative is part of the FedEx Cares program, which began in 2008. This program connects FedEx employees' expertise with nonprofit organizations to address local community needs. By participating in these initiatives, FedEx highlights its commitment to generating positive community change as part of its Drive Forward, Give Back campaign, which aims to inspire actions with significant impacts.
"Through initiatives like this, FedEx reaffirms its commitment to driving positive change in the communities where its team members live and work, as part of its global Drive Forward, Give Back campaign—an initiative that inspires extraordinary actions with a meaningful impact on the world."
