As wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles County, destroying homes and businesses and displacing whole communities, several major corporations have pledged millions of dollars in funds and resources to help the victims recover and rebuild.

Here are some of the companies who have announced aid efforts.

Disney

The Walt Disney Company, the parent company of ABC News, announced Friday that it is committing $15 million for initial and immediate response and rebuilding efforts. The company said it is working with several on-the-ground relief groups including the American Red Cross, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

Disney is also offering its LA-based employees assistance through its Employee Relief Fund, the company said.

"As this tragedy continues to unfold, The Walt Disney Company is committed to supporting our community and our employees as we all work together to recover and rebuild from this unbelievable devastation," Disney CEO Bob Iger, said in a statement."Walt Disney came to Los Angeles with little more than his limitless imagination, and it was here that he chose to make his home, pursue his dreams, and create extraordinary storytelling that means so much to so many people around the world. We are proud to provide assistance to this resilient and vibrant community in this moment of need."

Assistance is and will be coming from all over. Our church in San Jose sent $$ to a local charity in the area and sent a loaded semi with appropriate food and hygiene supplies (~10 hour drive). I'm sure we are not alone among churches in CA and across the US.
