Company is also donating one million face masks for children and families in underserved and vulnerable communities across the US.
Disney has become the latest big name company to introduce non-medical, reusable cloth face masks in the US.
The masks – which are available from shopDisney.com – come in small, medium and large sizes and in a wide variety of prints including favourite characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Anna and Elsa, Woody and Buzz Lightyear, The Avengers and The Child (affectionately known as Baby Yoda) among others.
In addition, Disney is donating one million cloth face masks for children and families in underserved and vulnerable communities across the US which will be distributed by MedShare. The Atlanta-based humanitarian aid organisation collects and distributes surplus medical supplies and equipment.
Disney will also donate all profits from the sales in the US of the cloth face masks to MedShare, up to $1 million, from now through to September 30, 2020.
“We realise this is a challenging time for families and wearing any type of mask can be daunting,” sais Edward Park, senior vice president, Disney store and shopDisney. “Our hope is that Disney’s cloth face masks featuring some of our most beloved characters will provide comfort to the families, fans and communities that are so important to us.”
