MGM Resorts International today announced a series of initiatives to support those economically hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, including donating $1 million in crisis and disaster relief pledges to the Employee Emergency Grant Fund and the equivalent of 400,000 meals across the United States.

"As we face extraordinary events and an unprecedented global pandemic crisis, we know this is a very difficult and uncertain time for many employees, their families, friends, and neighbors, and we are committed to helping those in need," said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM Resorts International. "We have done a lot to help our colleagues, including significantly expanding the eligibility of the MGM Employee Emergency Support Fund. MGM Resorts International is donating $1 million to disaster relief to provide additional support to employees who may be affected by the crisis and struggling."

Hornbuckle added, "We have also strengthened our commitment to communities across the United States. Over the past week, MGM has donated the equivalent of 400,000 meals through local food banks to mitigate food insecurity in the United States."


In November, MGM Resorts launched Focus on What Matters, a bold vision of social impact and sustainability, an enterprise-wide program focused on a goal-driven approach to positively impact the community. By 2025, the company's goals include 5 million meals to be donated through the Feeding Forward program and the 1 million service hours breakthrough in the community.

"To combat the current global crisis, we will embrace humanity, exemplify inclusion, and show compassion at MGM Resorts. Our commitment to our employees, to the communities we operate, do business, and serve our customers remains unchanged," said senior vice president Jyoti Chopra, Chief Diversity and Sustainability Officer at MGM Resorts International.
