The Walt Disney Company has a legacy of making a difference in communities around the world during the holidays, with a focus on families in need. During the holiday season, Disney’s “Share the Joy” campaign celebrates happiness, hope, and laughter with communities that need it most. Disney believes that every family deserves a little holiday cheer! That’s why Disney’s “Share the Joy” campaign will help bring season’s greetings and goodwill through contributions, gift and food donations, collaboration with local organizations, and volunteerism in service to deserving kids and families.
Disney VoluntEARS, Cast Members and employees will “Share the Joy” across the globe, and we invite you to join us! Whether serving with your family at a local food bank this season or giving a new toy to a deserving child, our collective actions can have an uplifting impact that helps make dreams come true.
Here are a few ways you can get involved:
Feeding America: As part of the Disney’s “Share the Joy” holiday campaign, Disney and Feeding America have teamed up to inspire healthier generations by expanding nationwide access to nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, in local communities. Disney announced a $1 million Feeding America donation to help strengthen local produce programs at Feeding America member food banks across the country. Together, Disney and Feeding America serve food to more than 46 million people, including 12 million children, each year. To get involved or volunteer at your local food bank, visit FeedingAmerica.org/BeInspired.
Family Volunteer Day powered by Disney and generationOn: Family Volunteer Day, as part of Disney’s “Share the Joy” campaign, will demonstrate and celebrate the power of families who volunteer together. For more than 25 years, Family Volunteer Day has offered families an opportunity to experience the true spirit of the holiday season. Start the holiday season by taking time to volunteer as a family. Join generationOn and Disney on November 19, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, to come together and support your community! Visit generationOn.org /FVD to get involved.
Toys for Tots: Disney’s “Share the Joy” is brightening the lives of kids and families this holiday season and you can “Share the Joy” by inspiring others, too! Disney VoluntEARS, Cast Members, and employees will donate thousands of new, unwrapped toys to deserving kids and families in local communities. We invite you to join us! For more than 60 years, Disney has supported the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation as a way to connect with children and families in need during the holiday season. Disney’s relationship with Toys for Tots began in 1948 when Walt Disney and his animators personally designed the original Toys for Tots train logo, which is still in use. Donate a new, unwrapped toy to a deserving family today. Visit ToysforTots.org/BeInspired to learn more.
Disney VoluntEARS “Share the Joy”: Disney’s “Share the Joy,” in collaboration with dozens of non-profit organizations, will help bring season’s greetings and support hundreds of deserving kids and families. Disney VoluntEARS, Cast Members, and employees will serve others through adopt-a-family, adopt-a-child, holiday family feast, and distributing holiday comfort kits in communities near and far.
