Panda Express committed to raising $4 million for relief efforts. All proceeds will help the disaster relief efforts of those impacted by both hurricanes. Panda Cares will donate $1 million, split evenly to American Red Cross and The Tzu-Chi Foundation. They are also providing in-kind food donations to shelters and emergency response teams in and around the devastated areas. In addition, Panda Express will continue to pay associates who cannot work due to closures of their restaurant—this has impacted more than 1,000 associates.
