Disney VoluntEARS Assemble Comfort Kits for Children Affected by Los Angeles Area Wildfires in American Red Cross Shelters

The kits included coloring books, plush toys, and prepared boxes with new books, chairs, games, and blankets for the children's area in the Pasadena shelter.

Disney VoluntEARS assembled Disney-themed comfort kits and care packages for children in American Red Cross shelters affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.

What’s Happening:

  • Last week, Disney VoluntEARS quickly assembled Disney-themed comfort kits and care packages for children in American Red Cross shelters due to the wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
  • They created comfort kits with coloring books, plush toys, and other items and prepared boxes with new books, chairs, games, and blankets for the children's area in the Pasadena shelter.
  • Disney is partnering with the American Red Cross to find new ways to bring joy to children and families in shelters, potentially including screenings of Disney films.
  • Disney's VoluntEARS initiatives serve as an important way to support both the community and employees impacted by the tragic event.

  • Earlier this month, the company committed $15 million for immediate response and rebuilding efforts in the affected region, including support for the American Red Cross.
  • They also opened their wardrobe warehouse to assist displaced employees and production teams.
  • Additionally, over $6 million was raised through ABC News' SoCal Strong campaign, and Disney is promoting the American Red Cross wildfire PSA across multiple platforms, including ABC, Freeform, FX, Nat Geo, and Hulu.

What They’re Saying:

  • Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences: “If there’s one company that can bring a smile to somebody’s face when they’re going through their most difficult time, it’s Disney. You look at operations like this, where Cast Members are coming together, everyone wants to reach out and help. And that’s what we’re here to do.”
  • Cliff Holtz, president and CEO of the American Red Cross: “I’m deeply grateful for Disney’s unwavering support of our mission and their generous commitment to help those in need. Just last week, I was able to connect with Bob Iger when he visited an American Red Cross shelter in Pasadena. I can’t thank the Disney team enough for standing with us to bring hope and comfort in the wake of these devastating wildfires.”
