Corporate bits | MGM holds ‘haircut of love’ campaign

For the third consecutive year, between July 27 and 29 a group of 30 MGM Volunteer Team members set out for care homes in different parts of the region to offer free haircuts to 160 senior citizens as part of the “Haircut of Love” campaign.
Over two months, MGM invited professional hairstylists from the Hair & Beauty Professionals Association of Macau to train its Volunteer Team, including management, to acquire hairstyling skills during their spare time.
MGM has extended the haircut service to two additional charitable organizations, where its volunteers took care of senior residents with health and mobility impairments.
The “Haircut of Love” was part of MGM’s fourth Community Care Campaign, which ranged from giving haircuts to seniors and a culinary “fun day” with the mentally disabled to renovating the walls of youth dormitory rooms. The campaign was held between July 18 and 29.
