Disney Theme Parks Donate Supplies To Help In Fight Against COVID-19
Disney just released word this morning that during the theme park closures at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland as well as the suspension of sailings with Disney Cruise Line, they have made a donation of unused supplies to help medical works on the frontlines during the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to Disney over 150,000 rain ponchos have been donated to MedShare, a humanitarian organization that distributes items to hospitals in need. This donation was inspired by nurses across the country who found that rain ponchos provided an effective way to protect clothing and free up gowns when needed.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything we’ve seen before,” said Charles Redding, MedShare CEO and President. “We have to find ways to pool our resources and work together to help the healthcare workers who are doing their very best to treat patients and contain COVID-19. We appreciate Disney partnering with us to support hospitals and healthcare workers on the frontlines.”
In addition, Disney Parks have also donated more than 100,000 N95 masks to the states of New York, California and Florida. The company is committed to find additional ways to give back.
A few weeks ago, we also shared the news that Disney has donated more than 270 tons of food to local food banks from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disneyland Pairs, and Aulani. As of going to print over $3 million in in-kind donations have been organized by Disney impacting communities around the globe.
