FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) said Monday it has launched a 50-day humanitarian initiative that will culminate on April 17, the 50th anniversary of the company’s first day of flight and ground operations.
The program, which FedEx coined 50 Days of Caring, calls on company employees to give back to their communities through service projects across the globe. The company said it will hold events and share stories that honor employees and customers.
Separately, FedEx said it had surpassed its FedEx Cares 50 by 50 goal to help 50 million people in one form or another by the time the company reached its 50th birthday. To recognize the achievement, FedEx said it has gifted $50,000 to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit food organization founded by celebrity chef José Andrés.
