MGM Resorts to Donate Surplus Food
January 24, 2018
Travel Weekly reports that every year, MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas serve thousands of pounds of food to banquet attendees. And every year, thousands of pounds of surplus food goes unserved—extra trays of pasta and chicken that guests simply don’t need.
Through a partnership with Three Square Food Bank, MGM properties including the Aria, the Bellagio and the Mandalay Bay will now collect hot banquet food that never made it to the buffet and donate it to Three Square. Three Square will blast chill the meals and store them until they’re needed to feed some of the 279,000 people who struggle with food insecurity in Southern Nevada.
