To help those in crisis, Disney has lodged 100 employees at the Disneyland Hotel, Pixar Place Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian. Opening their hotels, however, is just one way that Disney is rising to the occasion.
How Disney Is Helping
As we have seen over the last week, The Walt Disney Company has launched multiple initiatives to help those devastated by the California wildfires. After seeing the destruction, the company quickly announced that it was pledging $15 million to immediate relief efforts.
To help Cast Members who lost everything, the company also opened its television wardrobe warehouse and gave away new and gently used clothes.

Additionally, Disney’s employee relief fund is providing up to $4,000 for necessities and incidental expenses incurred by Cast Members. Finally, the company is providing two months of free furnished housing to employees whose houses were damaged or destroyed by the fire.
“We Want to Help Rebuild”
In the wake of an unthinkable tragedy, Disney has done its best to help not only its own employees but also the greater Los Angeles community.

To that end, Iger has pledged that Walt Disney Imagineering will help design new town centers in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Disney volunteers will also set up temporary schools in devastated communities.
“We want to help rebuild,” Bob Iger told the Times. “Rebuilding is not just about money. It’s about ingenuity and determination.”
