On 31st
October 2012, FedEx donated $1.2 million in cash. A gesture which was followed
by a $250,000 United Way donation last Friday. The Memphis-based courier
company also promised to help with the delivery of voting machines for the
presidential elections which will be brought to severally affected areas such
as Staten Island in New York City.
Beyond
that, the Salvation Army Disaster Response Unit (DRU), which is also sponsored
by FedEx, will drive their mobile canteen trucks to Staten Island to cater for
2,500 local citizens a day.
Hygiene
kits, bottled water, protein shakes, infant nutritional drinks, batteries and
blankets are amongst the relief supplies which will be received by thousands of
victims of Hurricane Sandy over the next couple of days.
