Cast Member Pantry: Food Bank Created by Disney Cast Members for Cast Members

How AMAZING is this?! Cast Member Pantry was created in late July as a food bank for Cast Members struggling with the current furlough situation. Donations are being accepted as Cast Members lift up fellow Cast Members during this difficult time.

As shared on the Cast Member Pantry Facebook page: “Are you or a fellow cast member you know in need of groceries during this difficult time? Cast Member Pantry makes it quick and easy to receive free food essentials once a month per Cast Member. You’ll receive a reusable grocery bag filled with foods that are easily put together to make meals for 4, with breakfast and snack options as well. We take pride in putting food we all enjoy in our bags because we believe our Cast deserve the very best, and a little comfort too. How? Make an appointment today by emailing castmemberpantry@gmail.com and filling out the survey in the automatic reply. You’ll then receive an email with a day and time for pickup. We handout groceries every Saturday, but remember appointments are required so we know how many bags to have on hand. Please help us spread the word to fellow cast members that may not be on social media. We have volunteers that speak and respond to emails in Spanish and English. Questions? Reach out directly here on Facebook by sending us a message. We are here to serve and look forward to getting food in the hands of our fellow cast.”

 

Ashley Carter, Digital Journalist w/@mynews13, shared a Tweet this morning stating: “Thousands of Disney World cast members remain furloughed and many are struggling with basic needs like groceries. Consider donating to Cast Member Pantry, a food bank created by cast members for cast members. The group accepts monetary donations via Venmo (@castmemberpantry).”
