2024 Q2 FedEx disaster response updates
FedEx supports multiple nonprofits, including the American Red Cross, Direct Relief, Heart to Heart International, The Salvation Army, Team Rubicon, and World Central Kitchen, that work to help communities recover from natural disasters. By providing charitable donations and in-kind shipping, FedEx continuously helps these organizations deliver critical aid, like medical supplies and meals, to those who need it most.
Through our company’s Delivering for Good program, we work with global disaster relief nonprofit organizations year-round to respond when catastrophes impact communities around the world.
Recently, FedEx and nonprofit organizations it supports have been on the front lines, delivering essentials to help those in need.

Brazil – flooding
As soon as the catastrophic flooding began in southern Brazil, the FedEx Latin America team reached out to FedEx global citizenship team to see how FedEx could help with relief efforts. Within 24 hours we identified a relief agency at work in the region and provided them with a grant for food, clean water, hygiene kits, cleaning supplies and clothing for flood victims.
The Salvation Army Brazil is also at work in the flood zone using a relief vehicle which FedEx Brazil had previously donated. If you would like to contribute to the relief efforts, you may volunteer or donate cash directly to an organization of your choice. We ask FedEx team members to refrain from collecting donated items, as FedEx does not provide charitable shipping for collection drives and donated items. You can learn more about our support for The Salvation Army Brazil’s flood relief efforts here, and about other FedEx Humanitarian Relief efforts here.
