As part of Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s Simple Acts of Kindness initiative, nearly 1,000 Company volunteers joined hands in a scarf knitting project to bring extra warmth to the local community for Christmas. Melco prioritizes the needs of its local communities and is committed to making a positive impact. The Company works hand in hand with local community partners to support social wellbeing through unique and differentiated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.
After dedicating more than 8,000 intensive work hours to the project over the course of two weeks, Melco volunteers created a total of 1,000 hand-knitted scarves. The scarves, together with additional festive gifts, were delivered to 10 local organizations including Concordia School for Special Education, Lar da Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia, Macau Autism Association, Women’s General Association of Macau, Cheng Chong Elderly Building, Macao Center for the Blind, Sheng Kung Hui ‘Star of Hope’ Youth Home, St. Francis Homes for the Elderly and Macau Federation of Trade Unions (FAOM) Ka Ao Nursery Home.
Among the participating volunteers were quite a few complete beginners. Melco volunteer Mr. Tim Ho, Executive Housekeeper at Altira Macau, said, “This was my first ever knitting experience. It was really confusing to start with – and I made so many mistakes. But after the first night, I finally got the hang of things. I hope that the elderly recipients of the scarves can feel my warm season’s blessings despite my amateur knitting!”
