Christmas Spirit Delivered One Truckload at a Time
FedEx celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Trees for Troops program in partnership with the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. Over the past two decades, the initiative has delivered more than 300,000 Christmas trees to military families across the U.S. This year, the program will distribute over 15,000 trees to 93 military bases. Since 2005, FedEx drivers have logged more than a million miles transporting these trees, which are donated by tree farms and garden centers nationwide. The program, which began with 4,300 trees delivered to 5 bases in its first year, now marks a significant milestone in supporting military families during the holiday season. Each tree comes with handwritten messages of gratitude, with recent deliveries including a special ceremony at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, on December 7.

FedEx는 Christmas SPIRIT Foundation과 협력하여 Trees for Troops 프로그램의 20주년을 기념합니다. 지난 20년 동안 이 이니셔티브는 미국 전역의 군 가족에게 300,000그루 이상의 크리스마스 트리를 배송했습니다. 올해 이 프로그램은 93개 군 기지에 15,000그루 이상의 나무를 분배할 예정입니다. 2005년 이후 FedEx의 운전사들은 이 나무들을 운반하기 위해 백만 마일 이상을 주행했습니다. 이 나무들은 전국의 나무 농장과 정원 센터에서 기증받았습니다. 처음 해에 5개 기지에 4,300그루를 배달한 이 프로그램은 이제 휴가 시즌 동안 군 가족을 지원하는 중요한 이정표가 되었습니다. 각 트리는 감사의 손글씨 메시지가 함께 제공되며, 최근 전달된 트리에는 12월 7일 켄터키주 Ft. Campbell에서 특별한 세레모니가 포함되었습니다.
