Fall 2020 Newsletter

FedEx has been a supporter of Pedals for Progress since the 1990s.

They continue to support us today: For several years FedEx has shipped Judy Strong’s sewing machines from North Carolina to our trailers in New Jersey. And since 1999 they’ve shipped us bicycles and sewing machines from the Green Mountain Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (GMRPCVs) of Burlington, Vermont. In fact, on 13 October 2020 we got a FedEx shipment of 115 sewing machines and 138 bikes, including their 4000th bike, from the GMRPCVs.

In the 1990s, the FedEx Spotlight Program produced ads featuring their customers. Click here for a PDF with a scan of the original 4-page ad featuring Pedals for Progress.
