FedEx Santa’s Helpers Deliver Christmas Cheer to the Less Fortunate in Auckland

FedEx Auckland team members with their gifts for the City Mission
AUCKLAND, December 20, 2012— FedEx Express team members in Auckland responded to the Auckland City Mission’s (Mission) appeal for donations by organising a Christmas collection drive. According to the Mission, it will provide 2000 emergency food parcels, distribute approximately 20,000 Christmas presents and host around 2500 people at New Zealand’s largest community Christmas Lunch this December.
Throughout December, FedEx Auckland employees became ‘Santa’s Helper’s’ and collected non-perishable and canned goods, as well as brand new gifts for less fortunate families and children.

“FedEx believes in giving back to our local communities through action. I am proud of our employees and their family members who have embraced the spirit of giving by contributing to this worthy cause. It has been a great way to finish off the year for our team members,” said Lee Davies, Country Manager, FedEx Express New Zealand.
FedEx is known for encouraging a spirit of giving and volunteerism. Since launching FedEx Cares Week in the U.S. in 2005, FedEx volunteers in New Zealand and around the world have donated thousands of hours of their time to serving the local communities each year.
