FAJ Collecting Donations for Philippine Typhoon Victims

Filipino Advocates for Justice is collecting donations for victims of Typhoon Haiyan at their Union City office today, tomorrow and Saturday, according to the nonprofit organization. 

The community group is currently accepting non-perishable food items, towels, blankets, toiletries and packing materials from 4 to 6 p.m. today and tomorrow at their Union City office, located at 3961 Horner St. Donations will also be accepted Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Clothing is not being accepted at this time, the organization said.

“The sheer scope of the damage caused by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) is so massive that we have to respond on multiple fronts in multiple areas, with as much immediacy and as large a scale as possible,” FAJ noted in a press release.

Typhoon Haiyan is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit land. The storm struck on Nov. 8. As of this morning, the death toll had reached 5,240 with 1,613 people missing and millions displaced, according to the Wall Street Journal.

FAJ encourages those with the means to make monetary donations and has released a list of organizations that will provide relief and aide to victims at a micro-community level. When making donations, indicate that the money is for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan. See the list below.
