On Thursday the Religion News Service reported that “Americans are opening their wallets and providing financial relief to the typhoon-battered Philippines at a pace that may be the third-highest ever for an overseas disaster, but still not enough to satisfy needs.”
Here in Spokane, churches, businesses and community groups are holding fundraisers for the victims.
On Sunday, beginning at 11:30 a.m., Thai Bamboo Restaurant on Division in Spokane, and the one located in Coeur d’Alene, will give 30 percent of its profits to the Feed the Hungry organization, which will help typhoon victims.
On Nov. 23 there will be a Yolanda Relief Concert from 5 to 8 p.m. at Chateau Rive at The Flour Mill. All proceeds go to the Red Cross for Haiyan (Yolanda) Typhoon relief. The event will feature talented and warm Philippine culture, plus there will be delicious authentic Filipino hors d’oeuvres, according to an announcement. Tickets can be purchased for $35 online.
