UPS Delivers Magic Again This Holiday Season One Wish At A Time
November 17 2016 - 9:30AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) has launched the annual Wishes Delivered campaign,
created to spread goodwill and share stories of people making a
difference. This year, UPS employees were asked to submit their
wishes for the people and communities where UPSers work and live
every day.
“With Wishes Delivered, we are able to bring wishes to life that
can make a difference in the communities we serve,” said UPS chief
marketing and business services officer Teresa Finley. “This year,
we are excited to have our employees – who act as problem solvers
every day – have an opportunity to see their holiday wishes
fulfilled and pay it forward in their local communities.”
Every time a Wishes Delivered story is shared on social media
channels like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, UPS will donate $1
to one of three charities: The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, The
Salvation Army, and Toys for Tots Literacy Program*. From a little
girl’s wish to make sure kids in need have toys, to high school
football rivals in East Baton Rouge, LA coming together to rebuild
after devastating floods, to delivery of more than 20 mini UPS®
trucks across the globe, follow the stories at
wishesdelivered.ups.com. UPS finds magic and hope with each wish
delivered during the holiday season.
Since first launching during the 2014 holiday season, Wishes
Delivered has surprised and delighted deserving individuals and
organizations who put others first. Last year, UPS helped Civil
Rights leader Mr. Robert J. Brown’s International BookSmart
Foundation get 180 tons of books to children in Africa, and teamed
up with The St. Bernard Project to return 91-year-old Aurora
Gonzales to her home in San Marcos, TX, after a devastating flood
washed it away. And UPS’s littlest driver Carson fulfilled his
dream of making some deserving kids UPS drivers for the day to
deliver gifts to others in need.
More ways UPS is making the holidays bright
To help alleviate the stress of holiday shopping and delivery,
the ups.com® Holiday Help Center provides resources to solve even
the most complex holiday shipping problems. Users can take
advantage of online chat assistance, information on frequently
asked questions and last days to ship calendars to help make sure
their deliveries arrive by Dec. 24. The Help Center playlist on the
UPS YouTube channel offers animated videos and tips to prepare
packages and avoid the holiday rush.
New for the 2016 holiday season, customers can take advantage of
a new feature available through the UPS My Choice® service called
Follow My Delivery, which allows shippers and recipients to track
their most urgent UPS® Air and UPS Worldwide Express® packages in
near-real time on a live map. The UPS My Choice service provides
control over where and how members can receive their eligible home
deliveries. This includes the ability to direct their UPS driver to
leave their packages in a preferred location at home, such as their
back porch, or at an alternate location such as with a neighbor or
at a nearby UPS Access Point™ location.
UPS Access Point™ locations offer convenient alternate delivery
locations at more than 25,000 local retailers, lockers, and The UPS
Store® locations throughout North America and Europe.
*Total amount to be donated not to exceed $100,000.
