Singapore – McDonald’s Singapore, in collaboration with Migrant & Me charity, is celebrating the Deepavali festival through supporting migrant workers recovering from work-related injuries.
In an event held on Oct. 24, 2024, McDonald’s welcomed 18 migrant workers with meals. They also participated in a painting session of rangoli, a traditional Indian art form, highlighting Deepavali’s cultural significance.
The event is part of McDonald’s effort to promote inclusivity and a sense of community for the migrant workers.
Additionally, McDonald’s will also gift 1,500 meals for recovering workers through food vouchers, which they can use at any McDonald’s restaurant.
The initiative marks McDonald’s second partnership with Migrant & Me.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with Migrant & Me. Deepavali is a celebration of community and inclusivity, and are values that resonate with us. This is a wonderful opportunity to recognise the contributions of our migrant heroes, and to foster a deeper sense of cultural appreciation in our community,” Benjamin Boh, managing director of McDonald’s Singapore, said.
Isabel Phua, executive director of Migrant & Me, commented, “Collaborating with McDonald’s once again for this meaningful event highlights the power of kindness and community. This partnership allows us to create a welcoming space where migrant workers feel valued and included. By engaging them in these celebrations, we’re fostering connections that transcend backgrounds.”
