Melco Resorts ran 16 community CSR actions in Macao during Mid‑Autumn Festival

Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd organised 16 community activities during the Mid‑Autumn Festival period in Macao, benefiting approximately 650 people, the company said in a statement published on 15 October 2026. The programme involved more than 260 Melco Resorts employees, their family members and community volunteers, who contributed a combined total of 730 hours of service.

The initiatives were part of the company’s "Simple Acts of Kindness" programme and were carried out in partnership with ten local organisations. Beneficiaries included elderly residents, members of low‑income families, young people and students with special needs. The activities listed in the statement included workshops, home visits and charity fundraising.

One of the largest events brought together almost 170 participants — Melco Resorts employees and their families, older residents and people with special needs — to create handmade sunflower bouquets and handwritten messages for distribution in the community. Other events included mooncake‑making workshops for elderly residents, visits to the homes of low‑income and single‑parent families, and social gatherings for seniors.

Internal volunteering and the "Teaching Children Values" programme

Melco Resorts said the "Teaching Children Values" programme encourages employees, their children and other family members to take part in volunteer activities, promoting intergenerational participation in community service. The company said this approach allowed family members to join several of the 16 actions and amplified the social impact.

"Through Simple Acts of Kindness and Teaching Children Values, we hope to continue to foster deeper connections within our community and ensure that everyone feels the warmth and joy of the festive season," said Akiko Takahashi, executive vice president and chief of staff to the chairman and chief executive of Melco Resorts.

The statement did not provide the exact timetable for each activity, but presented the total volunteer hours and participant numbers as indicators of the campaign’s operational reach during the festival period.

Fundraising and partnerships with local organisations

The initiatives included charity mooncake sales to support local non‑governmental organisations. Melco Resorts said it worked with ten community partners, explicitly naming Oxfam, the Salvation Army, the Women’s General Association of Macau and the Macao Gaming Practitioners Volunteers Association.

Identifying these local partners is part of the campaign design, which combines in‑person actions (workshops and visits) with fundraising efforts to channel resources to local NGOs. The statement did not disclose monetary amounts raised or the exact distribution of funds between organisations.

Operational impact and resources deployed

The company recorded that more than 260 employees, together with family members and volunteers, contributed 730 hours of volunteer work in total. The figure of 650 beneficiaries covers multiple demographic groups: older people, low‑income families, young people and students with special needs.

Melco Resorts did not announce any changes to its corporate social responsibility strategy or new spending commitments; the statement focused on the execution of the 16 activities during the Mid‑Autumn Festival and the participants involved.

What this means for the Macao sector

Melco Resorts’ campaign underscores the ongoing role of casino operators in Macao in running corporate social responsibility initiatives, combining employee involvement and internal resources with local organisations. For social entities, access to corporate volunteers and festival‑period fundraising remains an operational support and a source of public visibility.

Operators seeking to replicate this type of programme typically combine practical workshops, home visits and themed fundraising to maximise reach during specific community periods. Melco Resorts prioritised this mix in its Mid‑Autumn Festival approach.
