Stars of several Disney cable television shows stopped by the Disneyland Resort Saturday to help out as part of the 25th Annual Family Volunteer Day.

The event was organized by generationOn, which promotes family participation in helping others.

“We’re bringing lots of families together to volunteer with their children and make a difference in this community,” said Kathy Saulitis, a vice president with generationOn.org.

The volunteers, that included Disney Cast Members in the form of its group, “Disney VoluntEARS,” spent several hours putting together snack packs for Orange County Food Banks.

They also wrote notes on post cards that will be sent to U.S. Military Personnel stationed overseas for the holidays, and worked on developing a butterfly garden.

Disney stars helping out included Karan Brar of Disney Channel’s “Jessie,” Francesca Capaldi of Disney Channel’s “Dog With a Blog” and the voice of the Red-Haired Girl in “The Peanuts Movie,” and Mekai Curtis of Disney XD’s “Kirby Buckets.”

“It’s really a humbling experience for me,” Curtis said.
