Federal Express Corporation, known globally for express transportation, has demonstrated its ongoing dedication to community support throughout the Asia-Pacific region. More than 760 FedEx team members contributed over 1,000 volunteer hours, effectively collecting and donating over 3,400 kilograms of essential supplies. This effort has reached over 1,600 individuals, comprising children, elderly, and underserved groups, through collaborations with more than 20 non-profit organizations.

The initiatives were part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign, which took place from October to December 2024. FedEx personnel from ten markets, including Singapore, Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, came together to support various charities. The contributions, delivered in distinctive purple tote bags representing care, included packaged food, books, toys, winter clothing, and hygiene kits.

In Singapore, the collaboration, in its second consecutive year with Club Rainbow, aimed at uplifting the spirits of children with chronic illnesses during the holiday season. FedEx fulfilled over 40 wishes, gifting items such as clothing, toys, and sports gear. Additionally, more than 60 new books were donated to Club Rainbow's library, fostering imagination and hope for the young readers.
