KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, November 7, 2023 – FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has completed four-month support to a program with local non-profit Treat Every Environment Special (TrEES) to grow and deliver vegetables to underprivileged communities in Malaysia.
From August to November 2023, 16 FedEx volunteers engaged in planting, harvesting, sorting and distribution of vegetables, as well as maintenance of a 1,000-square-foot community garden located in the Klang Valley. On the final day of the program, the FedEx volunteers delivered the vegetables to a local care home.
