2024 FedEx Cares Report: Team Members Lend a Hand in Disaster Response at Home and Around the World

Resilience and community support after Michigan tornado

When a tornado struck our FedEx facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, our team acted quickly to ensure everyone’s safety and restored operations by the next day, delivering more than 7,000 medical and perishable packages on time. In addition to restoring our facility, team members provided a grant to Twelve Baskets, a nonprofit providing groceries, clothing, and household items for the community in need.

Thanks to the entire team for your dedication, drive, and heart — and for putting our core values, safety above all and take care of one another, first and foremost in all that you do.

Additionally, in Canada, volunteers packaged over 200 boxes of food and delivered 75 shipments of essential supplies and one fire skid in collaboration with GlobalMedic.
