This summer, Disney Cruise Line crew members volunteered to help support kids throughout Brevard County. Disney Cruise LIne’s home, Port Canaveral is located in Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast. Recently, while the Disney Wish was in port in Port Canaveral, crew members including Cruise Director Leslie, and Captain Marco spent time ashore packing more than 500 nutritious meals at The Children’s Hunger Project.

“I’m very proud of my crew because they work hard and are volunteering here during their time off. Our crew members truly believe in this and what we do. It’s rewarding to be here together, giving back to the community we call home.”

Crew members also recently visited the Supply Zone for Teachers in Brevard County to help students and teachers gear up for the new school year. The team helped organize more than 75,000 items and filled hundreds of pencil cases with school supplies. In addition to volunteering,

Disney Cruise Line donated to The Children’s Hunger Project to help fund meal packages for students throughout the school year, and also donated to the Brevard Schools Foundation to help provide support for programs across the county.
