- Sands China assembled 3,000 kits for Caritas Macau via its annual Sands Cares Global Food Kit Build.
- More than 300 volunteers from Sands China, Caritas Macau and MPU assemble kits to spread warmth to the community.
Sands China has once again demonstrated its commitment to community welfare, bringing together more than 300 volunteers from Sands China, Caritas Macau’s “Longevity” Special Care Centre and Macau Polytechnic University (MPU) to assemble 3,000 food kits at The Venetian Macao in June. The effort marked the fourth consecutive year of the Sands Cares Global Food Kit Build, aimed at providing food assistance to local populations in need.
Each kit contains 16 essential items, including soup pack, biscuits, and staple foods like cooking oil, rice, oatmeal, noodles and canned food. The items were purchased from local SMEs and charitable organizations, including soup packs from Tung Sin Tong and reusable kit bags from Fuhong Society of Macau. In total, the 3,000 kits weigh around 30 tons. Sands Cares Ambassadors worked alongside Caritas Macau to distribute the food kits to elderly residents, people with disabilities, low-income families and food bank recipients.
Sands China recognized the contributions of elderly volunteers and MPU students by awarding Volunteer Service Certificates, encouraging broader community participation in caring for the disadvantaged.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, Executive Vice Chairman of Sands China Ltd., said the initiative embodies the company’s dedication to corporate social responsibility, with 11,600 kits assembled since 2022. Paul Pun Chi Meng, secretary-general of Caritas Macau, also expressed gratitude for Sands China’s ongoing partnership and support for those in need.
The Sands Cares Food Kit Build is part of Sands Cares global corporate citizenship programme.
