MGM China has donated MOP$300,000 to the Macau Holy House of Mercy’s Welfare Shop project, financing the distribution of food hampers to more than 360 local disadvantaged households. The contribution takes MGM’s total donations to the project over the past six years to MOP$1.7 million, benefiting nearly 2,000 households.
In a press release, MGM said that on 7 April senior executives led a volunteer team on a visit to the Welfare Shop, where they were received by António José de Freitas, President of the Board of Trustees of Macau Holy House of Mercy. MGM China’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Grant Bowie, presented the donation check to Freitas, President of Board of Directors of General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau Ng Siu Lai and President of Board of Supervisors of Macao Federation of Trade Unions Leong Iok Wa.
More than 30 warm-hearted Golden Lion volunteers took part in packing the daily necessities that included rice, noodles, canned food, oatmeal and cooking oil, into MGM’s tailor-made eco-friendly handcarts. The hampers were distributed to the disadvantaged households referred by the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau, Associação dos Familiares Encarregados dos Deficientes Mentais de Macau and the Holy House of Mercy.
