CHANDLER, Arizona\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 At a ribbon-cutting ceremony today at a FedEx Ground shipping facility in Chandler, FedEx donated a mobile canteen to the Emergency Disaster Services<\/a> (EDS) vehicle fleet of The Salvation Army Southwest Division<\/strong><\/a>, which is based in Phoenix and serves Arizona, New Mexico and Southern Nevada.<\/p>

This is the 24th mobile canteen FedEx has donated across the U.S. and around the world since 2006.<\/p>

\u201cWe are grateful to FedEx, one of our valued corporate supporters, for supplying us with this new Canteen, which we anticipate will be capable of serving about 1,200 meals a day,\u201d said Major Charles Fowler, The Salvation Army Southwest Divisional Commander. \u201cThe advantage of having a mobile unit is it allows us to go wherever the need is and bring hope to the hurting. My prayer is that when this canteen comes rolling into a neighborhood that people will see more than the iconic red shield. They will see beyond their situation and get a glimpse of a better tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThe last 20 years of the partnership between The Salvation Army USA and FedEx has resulted in rebuilding lives and bringing hope when victims of disasters across the country have been at their lowest point, wondering if they have a future,\u201d said Greg Tuck, The Salvation Army Assistant National Community Relations & Development Secretary. \u201cFedEx delivers hope when all hope is lost. The Salvation Army couldn\u2019t do what we do without the help of FedEx.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThe Salvation Army is truly a shining light in our community and around the world. Their unwavering dedication to helping others is inspiring, and FedEx is incredibly honored to stand alongside them. Together, we\u2019re committed to making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most,\u201d said Chad Behymer, District Sales Manager of Federal Express Corporation.<\/p>

No matter where disaster or emergencies strike, The Salvation Army EDS is among the first to arrive on the scene and often the last to leave, serving survivors and first responders with emergency food, beverages and snacks, shelter, financial assistance, case management, household goods, repair and rebuild assistance, donations management, and emotional and spiritual care.<\/p>

Southwest EDS recently concluded a month-long response to aid those affected by the South Fork Fire and Salt Fire near Ruidoso, New Mexico, helping over 2,500 people with more than 161,000 meals, beverages, and snacks; over $62,000 worth of financial assistance; and generously-donated household goods and supplies valued at nearly $615,000.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
