Corporate Bits | Over 2,500 boxes of mooncakes donated by melco employees

It has become a tradition for Melco Crown Entertainment (MCE) employees to donate the mooncakes given to them by the company to the Macau community before the Mid-Autumn Festival. In its third year, the activity has gained increasing support and this year the collection has reached a record-high number of over 2,500 boxes of mooncakes in their exquisite packaging, which are normally sold by the company to its customers. These mooncakes were distributed by over 200 MCE volunteers to 21 organizations that house elderly and less fortunate members in the community.
Adding a warm and caring touch this year, besides delivering mooncakes door-to-door to over 200 social housing units for the elderly in Cheng Chong Building at Ilha Verde, over 40 MCE volunteers rolled up their sleeves to clean up the seniors’ homes. Doing so would provide them with a healthier environment and improved living conditions.
Director of Cheng I Elderly Service Center from the General Union of Neighbors’ Association of Macau Leong Kuai Peng said, “most of the elderly residents moved to Cheng Chong Building four years ago. Nevertheless, some of them are aging fast and even have mobility problems now. We really would like to express our sincere gratitude to MCE volunteers who went the extra mile to deliver mooncakes to them door-to-door.”
