Heart to Heart International
Heart to Heart International, with in-kind support from FedEx, sent a shipment of over 400,000 courses of much-needed medicine and medical supplies from Kansas City, Missouri to Warsaw, Poland.
International Medical Corps
FedEx is providing in-kind transportation of feminine hygiene products sent by International Medical Corps to help Ukrainian women impacted by the conflict.
Red Cross
FedEx team members in Europe helped organize a shipment of laptops and mobile phones from the Netherlands Red Cross to the Polish Red Cross that are being used to establish a cash system for refugees. Three full truckloads of generators have been delivered to hospitals and refugee camps for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Water Mission
Water Mission, with in-kind support from FedEx, shipped two of its Living Water Treatment Systems, which are capable of providing 10,000 gallons of safe, clean water every day, to Poland and Romania. These two systems arrived in their respective countries ready to provide daily drinking water to thousands of people.
FedEx recently moved a shipment of 13 pallets of water purification packets from Singapore to Przemysl, Poland at the request of the Ukrainian government, due to the destruction of the clean water distribution infrastructure.
World Central Kitchen
FedEx transported World Central Kitchen’s in-kind shipment of three ten-by-ten tents from Przemysl, Poland to Suceava, Romania. These tents will be used at the Romanian-Ukrainian border to provide hot meals to refugees who have been affected by the ongoing conflict.
World Central Kitchen has shared that the three charitable shipments included tents for their Chefs for Ukraine activation in Romania and Slovakia. These tents were put in place at border crossings where they are serving hot meals to refugees crossing the border. They were also able to ship 30 Cambro hot boxes, which allow teams to transport hot meals from kitchens to distribution sites. World Central Kitchen estimates that the number of people impacted by these shipments is between 10,000 -15,000 each day.
