Partnership with FedEx Provides Valuable Service Across the Country
In the second quarter of 2023, FedEx’s mobile feeding units proved vital in The Salvation Army’s efforts to serve their communities. The mobile feeding units were used in outreach events, disaster relief, and homeless feeding programs, and over this quarter alone- the mobile canteens were deployed to 47 different events, with over 32,000 people served.
These canteens helped The Salvation Army serve survivors and first responders after a tornado swept across Indiana on March 31st; and several tornados impacted Arkansas and Tennessee.
These canteens have also been crucial in homeless feeding programs in Miami, Baltimore and Virginia.
The Salvation Army is greatly appreciative of the support of FedEx and their donation of mobile feeding units and will continue to utilize them to further support our communities.
