Senior management from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, together with team members including Sands China Cares Ambassadors — around 300 participants in total —take part in the “Sands Cares Spring Celebrations with the Community” volunteer activity Feb. 3.
Sands China staged its annual Sands Cares Spring Celebrations with the Community event as Chinese New Year approaches, turning festive goodwill into targeted community support across Macao.
On Feb. 3, Patrick Dumont, President and COO of Las Vegas Sands, and senior management joined 300 participants, including Sands Cares Ambassadors, to prepare and distribute relief kits and engage directly with local businesses under the company’s ongoing community and SME support programmes.
The volunteer activity packaged more than 20,000 staple foods and essential items into 2,000 Lunar New Year gift packs, each containing locally sourced oil, rice, noodles, cleaning supplies and hand-written fai chun.
Packs were delivered to elderly users of the Peng On Tung service and other individuals in need; an additional 1,000 meal boxes and visits to 200 elderly living alone formed part of the wider festive outreach.

The Sands Cares Ambassador volunteer team, the industry’s first corporate volunteer team in Macao, continues to scale its impact: more than 4,000 team members have taken part to date, contributing over 360,000 volunteer hours.
In the past year the team averaged up to four community care activities per week, working with partners including the Peng On Tung Tele-Assistance Service Centre, the Fuhong Society of Macau, the Corner of Portuguese Cuisine training restaurant and local animal-welfare and social enterprises to deliver inclusive social value and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Sands China’s community efforts are part of the broader Sands Cares global corporate citizenship programme, which prioritises sustained NGO partnerships, volunteer mobilisation and initiatives that circulate care and economic opportunity across Macao.
