Following recent flood in Juneau, this donation to the Juneau Community Foundation will provide financial aid to more than 100 impacted families in the region.

MIAMI, Aug. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a significant move to support flood recovery efforts in Juneau, Alaska, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE: NCLH) has announced a $50,000 donation to the Juneau Community Foundation. This contribution is aimed at providing direct financial assistance to residents affected by the unprecedented flooding triggered by the release of water from the Mendenhall Glacier.

The recent flood, described as the worst in Juneau’s history, has caused widespread destruction, inundating homes and displacing numerous residents. NCLH’s donation to the Juneau Community Foundation will support a newly established fund aimed at providing financial assistance for needs that may not be fully covered by FEMA.

“We are deeply connected to the Juneau community, and witnessing the devastation from the recent flood has been heart-wrenching,” said Dan Farkas, executive vice president, general counsel, and chief development officer at NCLH. “Juneau is not just a destination for us; it’s a community we truly care about. ‘Strengthening Our Communities’ is a key pillar of our global Sail & Sustain program, and we feel a profound responsibility to stand by the residents of Juneau in their time of need. Our donation is focused on providing direct financial relief to help families rebuild their lives and facilitate a fast return to normalcy.”

The Juneau Community Foundation will gather applications from affected residents, who will be asked to complete a simple, one-page form. By the end of September, the foundation will review the applications and begin disbursing funds to those in need. For more details on how to donate or apply to the fund, please visit their website.
