Macau gaming operator MGM remains dedicated to supporting those in need within Macau’s local community, continuing its long-standing tradition of philanthropy. Since the launch of the Macau Holy House of Mercy (SCMM) Welfare Shop project in 2013, MGM has made annual donations for 13 consecutive years.
This year, MGM donated MOP300,000 to support the project’s daily operations, contributing a total of MOP3.8 million to date. As part of this year’s initiative, MGM provided reusable handcarts filled with food hampers for over 370 underprivileged households in Macau. Through the donations, MGM continues to fulfil its corporate social responsibility vision to “Create a Better Tomorrow Today”.
On April 12, MGM’s management team members, including Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, together with the Golden Lion Volunteer Team, visited the SCMM’s Welfare Shop, where they were warmly welcomed by António José de Freitas, President of the Board of Trustees of SCMM.
Kenneth Feng presented the MOP300,000 donation cheque to António José de Freitas in the presence of the representatives of beneficiary organizations, including:
- José Ricardo das Neves, President of the Supervisor Committee of SCMM;
- Ho Ion Sang, Vice President of the General Union of Neighborhood Association of Macao (UGAMM);
- Leong Wai Fong, Vice President and Secretary General of the Macau Federation of Trade Unions (FAOM).
MGM has specially prepared portable and reusable handcarts designed by the Company for the food hamper distribution, making it convenient for beneficiaries to transport daily necessities. Each food hamper, which contained rice, noodles, canned food, oatmeal, cooking oil, and other daily necessities, was packed by MGM’s management team members and Golden Lion volunteers.
The handcart and food hampers were distributed to the FAOM, UGAMM, SCMM, and Macau Association of Parents of the Mentally Handicapped, which then delivered the gifts to local families in need.
