Disney VoluntEARS – Dedicated to Positive Change
Disney VoluntEARS bring Disney magic into the community through volunteer projects, supporting local youth and families, granting wishes and making a meaningful difference in Anaheim and beyond.
Affordable Housing
Access to affordable housing is an important issue in Anaheim, and Disneyland Resort is committed to being part of the solution. Through DisneylandForward we contributed $30 million to the Anaheim Housing Trust. We also work with resort-area hotels and the City of Anaheim to direct $3 million annually to housing support programs through the Anaheim Tourism Improvement Funds. These efforts support affordable housing development, emergency rent assistance and first-time homebuying programs for eligible residents.
Food Insecurity
Food insecurity is a significant challenge in Orange County, and Disneyland Resort is dedicated to helping address it in various ways, including volunteer initiatives, financial contributions, and more. For more than a decade, we have supported Second Harvest Food Bank Orange County and their mission to help end hunger. We have also partnered with Community Action Partnership Orange County for over 30 years, providing financial support and thousands of volunteer hours through Disney VoluntEARS.
Supporting Local Nonprofits
Through financial contributions, collaborations with nonprofit organizations, in-kind donations, employee volunteering and board service, Disneyland Resort brings positive, meaningful, and measurable impact to the local community.
Born and raised in Anaheim, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager Eric Benitez leads creative, impactful projects with the Disney VoluntEARS program throughout Orange County daily. He takes his commitment a step further – serving as a board member for the Anaheim Community Foundation to give back and make a difference in his community.
Preparing and Inspiring the Next Generation
To develop and support the workforce of tomorrow, Disneyland Resort helps prepare nearly 400 local students for their future careers through mentorship and career skills programs with the Anaheim Union School District and other local organizations. In 2025, cast members also donated more than 68,000 school supplies to support students at Anaheim elementary schools.

Supporting Small Businesses
Built into the fabric of our city, Disneyland Resort has long established local vendor relationships that have grown to include hundreds of Anaheim businesses — each with their own unique story.
Founded in 1975 by Fidel Guzman, Family Tree Produce has been a resort vendor since 1991. In 2025, this small business supplied more than 358,000 ears of corn to the resort.
The Community Our Cast Members Call Home
Anaheim isn’t just home to Disneyland Resort — it’s also home to the cast members who bring the magic to life. As the largest single-site employer in Orange County, many of our 36,000 cast members also live here, including 1 in 7 cast members living in Anaheim, while 3 in 4 live within 20 minutes of the resort. Today, more than 5,000 Anaheim residents wear the name tag.
Our Future in Anaheim
In addition to our ongoing investment in the guest experience, the passing of DisneylandForward has unlocked a roadmap for incredible potential opportunities that will fuel the growth of Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for years to come.
