OUR PEOPLE & OUR COMMUNITIES

At Macerich, the majority of our property events, volunteerism and philanthropic efforts are united in supporting Education, Environment and Community.

Environment In This Together

Demonstrating our ongoing commitment to sustainability across our portfolio, 85 events were held during Earth Month (April), featuring electronic recycling, paper-shredding events, on-center displays featuring repurposed or recycled materials and electric vehicle showcases.

Mvp In Action

Employees from Regional Town Center offices as well as corporate offices — from coast to coast — spent more than 300 hours removing close to 6,300 pounds of trash from community parks, recreation centers, city streets and public spaces, as well as desert preserves and beaches.

Community

Supporting Families Experiencing Food Insecurity

The holidays can be particularly stressful for families experiencing food insecurity. Our centers designed creative and engaging campaigns to secure much-needed donations for local food banks and shelters. Together, we collected more than 472,379 meals for United Food Bank, St. Mary’s Food Bank and neighborhood food pantries in underprivileged communities.

Impacting Lives One Pint At A Time

Organizations such as Vitalant Arizona, New York and New Jersey Blood Centers, Life Stream in California and the American Red Cross assist communities experiencing critical blood shortages, and Macerich is there to lend a helping hand. Using our common area and parking lots for activations, we hosted 187 drives that impacted an estimated 30,000 lives with life-saving donations last year.

ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN

As a great example of the collective power of communities and our employees, in 2022, we conducted our first-ever Company-wide holiday campaign for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Together, we raised $119,000 (19% over our initial goal) for one effort — finding cures to save children. More than 30% of our total contribution was raised through our GivingTuesday employee campaign, using our employee match program. Our communities also graciously supported our cause across all our properties.
