Today’s news of massive division-wide layoffs at Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products shocked many of us. It unmoored 28,000 people. I know I was wondering after the layoffs were announced what I could do to alleviate some of the pain and hardships those people who were laid off are feeling now and will be feeling in the coming weeks and months.
I’m trying to put together in this post and in the newly created #HelpOut page on the site is a list of places and organizations you can donate money, food, resources, your time, or anything really to help out the people who make the magic we all enjoy so much possible.
If you know of any additional organizations or groups, please let me know in the comments, on Twitter, or through the Contact Us page on the site. We’ll be updating this list as best we can.
