Most recently, Disney Theatrical Group created a wellbeing program themed around Frozen to help U.K. students.

Now, Disney World has teamed up with A Gift For Teaching to help Florida teachers in Orange County with much-needed supplies as children there prepare to go back to school.

Disney has donated nearly 8,000 mask lanyards for children, along with 5,000 reusable bags for teachers and students to use. The company also donated 43 pallets of Disney merchandise that teachers can use for student incentives. Teachers interested in getting supplies can use an online tool to make their supply requests to pick up curbside later.

Disney World has also donated reusable bags, water bottles, lanyards, and other back-to-school essential items to other Florida schools, including those located in Lake, Osceola, and Seminole Counties. We’ll keep you updated on any other charitable programs Disney has in the works.
