NORTHAMPTON, UK - January 15,
2018 - Employees of XPO Logistics, Inc.
(NYSE: XPO), a leading global provider of transportation and
logistics solutions, have donated over four tons of food to the
Trussell Trust, a charitable organization that partners with local
communities to alleviate poverty and hunger. The Trussell Trust
distributes over a million three-day emergency food supplies
annually through its network of over 400 foodbanks in the UK.
XPO teams supported the Trussell Trust through
donations, fundraising and volunteerism during the recent holiday
season as part of the company's United In
Giving annual campaign. Since launching United
In Giving in 2015, XPO has donated the equivalent of over
30,000 meals for people in crisis.
Andrew Mallinson, head of corporate partnerships
at the Trussell Trust, said, "There are now thirteen million people
living below the poverty line in the UK. The efforts of companies
like XPO Logistics make a huge difference in our ability to support
those in need. We distributed 1,182,954 three-day emergency food
supplies to people in crisis from mid-2016 to mid-2017. Christmas
2017 saw record demand again, and XPO's partnership has had a
widespread, positive impact on many lives."
Malcolm Wilson, chief executive officer of XPO
Logistics Europe, said, "We encourage our employees to support
worthy causes as part of our culture. Our United
In Giving campaign is a way for our people to become personally
involved in giving back. It is a privilege to support the important
work of the Trussell Trust, and through them the families and
individuals that need our compassion."
