FedEx volunteers from Clark joined Rise Against Hunger Philippines to assemble 10,000 meal kits that will support public school students in Cebu.
Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) partnered with Rise Against Hunger Philippines to package 10,000 nutritious meals for underserved communities in Cordova, Cebu, as part of the company’s FWS Day of Service.
Sixty FedEx volunteers prepared meal packs that are expected to provide nutritional support to approximately 166 public school students for at least 120 days. Each meal contains rice, dehydrated soy, vegetables or fruits, flavoring mix and micronutrient powder fortified with 18 essential vitamins and minerals.
The initiative comes amid concerns over child nutrition in the Philippines. According to the Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute’s 2025 Updating Survey, stunting among Filipino children under five reached 25.3% in 2025, or about one in four children.
Supporting communities through volunteer action
FedEx Philippines Managing Director Maribeth Espinosa said proper nutrition is an important foundation for children to learn, grow and reach their potential.
The Cebu activity builds on an earlier partnership between FedEx and Rise Against Hunger Philippines that provided 3,600 meals to Aeta communities in Pampanga.
The latest initiative is part of FedEx’s broader community engagement efforts under FedEx Cares, supporting food security and vulnerable communities across the Philippines.
