VCU student group holds typhoon relief drive

The student organization Filipino Americans Coming Together (FACT) held a relief drive and fundraiser Monday to support victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which caused catastrophic damage and killed thousands in the Philippines earlier this month.

The effort brought in more than $450, a large box of food and hygiene products and more than 1,000 articles of clothing, enough to fill six large boxes. In the photo, Rachel Adamos, Jonah Ortanez, Angie Ellorin and Monique Sanchez take part in the relief effort at the University Student Commons.
