Macau, July 4, 2015 – Wynn Macau is committed to giving back to the community and contributing to the efforts of local charitable organizations. Today, Wynn Macau donated MOP300,000 to Macau Holy House of Mercy (SCMM)’s Welfare Shop Project to finance the distribution of food hampers to 340 underprivileged families.
Mr. Ian Michael Coughlan, President of Wynn Macau, presented the cheque to Mr. António José de Freitas, President of SCMM. Also present at the ceremony were Ms. Ng Sio Lai, President of the General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau, Mr. Chiang Chong Sek, President of the Macau Federation of Trade Unions, Ms. Katharine Liu, Vice President of Communications of Wynn Macau and Mr. Thomas Lau, Director of Human Resources of Wynn Macau.
Around 30 warm-hearted volunteers from Wynn Macau took part in the food hamper distribution, handing out hampers containing basic food and daily necessities. In addition, this year Wynn Macau has also tailor-made a shopping trolley to hold the food hamper items and a gift umbrella for the convenience of the beneficiaries.
The SCMM Welfare Shop project was launched in 2013 with the aim of assisting underprivileged families by providing them with basic food and daily necessities to alleviate their burden caused by inflation and increased cost of living. Wynn Macau has donated a total of MOP 800,000 over three years in support of this project.
