Disneyland Resort Gives Back During the Twelve Days of Christmas

The Disneyland Resort and its cast members have a legacy of giving, started by Walt Disney himself, and the giving efforts kick into high gear during the 12 days of Christmas. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

• On the first day of Christmas…1,000 individuals receive necessities through the annual Adopt-A-Family program in partnership with MOMS Orange County.
• On the second day…2,000 military care packages and postcards are sent to military personnel around the world through Operation Uplift.

• On the fourth day…4 food packing events at the Orange County Food Bank, including one on National Family Volunteer Day, provided more than 150,000 meals to individuals in need.
• On the fifth day…$5,000 worth of Disney merchandise was donated by the Resort to support the Adopt-A-Family program.

• On the eleventh day…11 food drop-off locations throughout the Resort resulted in a food drive that collected 2,100 pounds of food for families in need.
