MGM donated MOP300,000 to the Macau Holy House of Mercy (SCMM)’s Welfare Shop project for the 11th consecutive year — in a bid to fund the distribution of food hampers to nearly 400 local households in need.
To date, MGM has donated an aggregate of MOP3.3 million to the project, the gaming operator said in a statement.
For another year, MGM has specially designed a portable and reusable handcart for the food hamper distribution; this year, the design has undergone an upgrade, where the handcart has become more compact and functional for everyday use.
Each food hamper contains daily necessities such as rice, noodles, canned food, oatmeal, cooking oil, etc. — packed by MGM’s management team members and over 30 Golden Lion volunteers. The food hampers will be delivered to local families in need, as referred by FAOM, UGAMM, SCMM, and the Associação dos Familiares Encarregados dos Deficientes Mentais de Macau.
