In response to the devastating wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, Comcast NBCUniversal has announced a comprehensive relief effort to support those in need and aid in the recovery process.
The company has pledged a significant donation of $10 million to various organisations working tirelessly to provide relief and recovery services. Among these are the American Red Cross, Entertainment Industry Foundation SoCal Fire Fund, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles.
Comcast NBCUniversal's relief efforts extend beyond monetary donations. The company is also providing support to its employees affected by the wildfires, offering emergency financial funds, health and welfare benefits, and a special company double match for employee donations made through the Comcast NBCUniversal Matching Gift Program.
In addition, Comcast will provide $2.5 million as an inaugural corporate partner to the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles' ReBUILD L.A. initiative, which aims to rebuild homes and communities devastated by the wildfires.
The company's employees are also encouraged to participate in volunteer activities, including collecting and distributing supplies or assisting with local relief efforts. Comcast may also provide free or discounted internet and communication services to affected residents and first responders, helping maintain connectivity during emergencies.
Furthermore, Comcast stands ready to support its employees and the broader Los Angeles community as they recover and rebuild from the wildfires. The company is offering benefits such as access to temporary housing and hotels at discounted rates for affected employees.
