We “Kicked the Can” to Help Kick Hunger

November 3, 2006

FedEx and teams of employee volunteers helped staff the Tarrant Area Food Bank’s annual “Kick the Can” food drive event on November 3, 2006, in downtown Fort Worth.  Joining a tradition that began in 1983, FedEx supported the 2006 launch of the annual “Cans & Cash Drive to Extinguish Hunger.”  Groups from businesses, clubs, medical facilities, government agencies and schools participated in a race to kick empty cans along a course.  FedEx Special Delivery trucks marked the finish-line of the event while volunteers helped keep time and handout awards.
