Ms. Linda Chen, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Wynn Macau, Limited, presented a cheque for MOP300,000 to Mr. António José de Freitas, President of the Board of Trustees of SCMM.

Wynn is supporting the SCMM Welfare Shop Project for the sixth consecutive year. This year, Wynn has brought together 45 enthusiastic participants from the Wynn Employees (WE) Volunteer Team to help prepare food hampers containing basic food and daily necessities and distribute them to the beneficiary families, helping ease their day-to-day cost of living. Furthermore, Wynn also gave out MOP100 supermarket vouchers to each household.
 
The SCMM Welfare Shop project was launched in 2013 with the aim of assisting underprivileged families by providing them with short-term food support to alleviate the financial burdens caused by inflation and increased cost of living. Wynn has donated an accumulated total of MOP1,700,000 since the founding of the project to support the operation of the Shop, in order to benefit more people in need in the community.
