As Florida continues to recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Milton, which came on the heels of Hurricane Helene, Disney has announced a $3 million donation to support relief efforts across the state. The powerful Category 5 storm made landfall on Florida’s west coast, bringing destructive winds, heavy rainfall, and widespread flooding to Central Florida, including the Orlando area. In the aftermath of the hurricane, communities are facing significant recovery challenges, and Disney’s donation aims to aid local communities, nonprofits, and cast members affected by the storm.
In addition to the financial contribution, Disney has a long-standing tradition of supporting communities during natural disasters. The company has provided thousands of meals through partnerships with organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank and the Osceola Council on Aging, ensuring those impacted by the storm have access to essential resources. Disney also took proactive measures earlier in the hurricane season, donating blankets, sheets, pillows, and hygiene products to Florida nonprofits to assist storm shelters during emergencies.

To further support its employees, the Disney Employee Relief Fund has been activated, offering financial assistance to cast members whose homes were damaged by the storm. Disney is also providing personalized aid, including repair services, mental health resources, and backup care for children and adults. Essential supplies such as food, water, and ice are being made available to ensure that cast members and their families receive the help they need during this difficult time.
