Typhoon Mangkhut Relief Fund

About

Before advancing to strike China, Typhoon Mangkhut, a powerful storm 550 miles wide, pummeled the Philippines, leaving destruction in its path. If you want to help those affected by the typhoon, this fund consists of the organizations the New York Times offered as a few of the organizations involved in recovery efforts.
