I've compiled information about various groups and establishments that are accepting donations and/or looking for volunteers to help the victims of the heavy rains and flooding in the Philippines. For easier browsing of this long list, I've divided this post into two parts: those accepting 1) cash and check donations and 2) in-kind donations and/or calls for volunteers per area.
The big organizations on the list (e.g. Red Cross, GMA, ABS-CBN) accept donations all year round to help victims of various calamities and tragedies throughout the Philippines. If you're located outside the Philippines but want to help, you can do so by sending cash donations. Please do!
