The $1 million contribution from The Walt Disney Company will provide crucial assistance to Disney Cast and Crewin the region, alongside leading nonprofits such as UNICEF USA, World Central Kitchen, and Good360. These essential funds will help secure emergency supplies, food, and shelter, as well as other vital services for families and communities actively working to rebuild after the storm.
This commitment reflects the company’s long-standing connection to the island, as Disney Cruise Line has maintained a port presence in Jamaica for over a decade.

This donation is part of the year-round support Disney provides during times of crisis and natural disasters that impact communities where we live and work. This support includes the Disney Employee Relief Fund, which helps cast, crew and employees recover from times of crisis or personal disaster.
