The closure of Disneyland and Disney World follows the closure of Disney's other parks in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Shanghai.

However, in a rare bit of light in these dark times, Disney has continued to try and spread the message of hope by donating excess food inventory from the closures to Second Harvest Food Bank in their respective communities.

In Florida, Walt Disney World Resort cast members joined the Distribution Services team that oversees collection and delivery of donations to help their local community and share surplus food.

In California at the Disneyland Resort, food donations actually started over the weekend.

While closely following safety guidelines, excess inventory of dairy, fruit, vegetables, packaged goods, and banquet meals were shared with Second Harvest Food Bank to be quickly moved out to pantries and food distribution sites throughout Orange County.

Both Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida actually have an ongoing commitment to reducing food waste.
