Organizations team up to provide food, school supplies, and resources to over 5,000 children and caregivers
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / FedEx, in collaboration with leading global anti-hunger organization Feed the Children, recently completed a series of initiatives to support communities in Kenya, Guatemala and the Philippines. The organizations partnered to provide sustainable solutions for children and their families by distributing nutritional food kits, school supplies, and gardening resources to support local food production.
This global initiative is part of the FedEx Cares program, which focuses on improving the lives of the people and communities FedEx employees are connected to. Together, the organizations delivered both immediate relief and long-term solutions for improved nutrition, educational access, and family self-sufficiency - helping communities build more resilient futures.
"We are proud to support organizations like Feed The Children that make a meaningful difference in communities around the world. The need is great and removing barriers to ensure all families have access to food and essentials closely aligns with FedEx's mission to care for one another and give back to the places where we live and work," said Jenny Robertson, Senior Vice President, FedEx Global Brand and Communications.
FedEx team members volunteered in each location, helping pack and distribute nutritional food kits, school supply kits, and gardening tool kits - ultimately reaching more than 5,000 children and their caregivers. These kits helped address food insecurity, support children's learning journeys, and promote small-scale agricultural practices for long-term sustainability. As part of the FedEx commitment to community engagement , staff also connected directly with families on the ground, strengthening local relationships and deepening understanding of community needs.
"At Feed the Children, we believe sustainable change begins by empowering families. Our growing partnership with FedEx is a testament to what is possible when purpose-driven organizations come together - not only to meet urgent needs, but to build long-term resilience across communities worldwide," said Bregeita Jefferson, President, International Operations of Feed the Children.
