Members of Winnipeg's Filipino community are banding together to help people whose homes and lives have been ravaged by Typhoon Mangkhut. The 204 Neighbourhood Watch group put on a donation drive Tuesday night and collected everything from diapers to canned food for victims of the typhoon. The Winnipeg woman used to live in the Philippines and has relatives about 25 kilometres from where the typhoon hit. Elmer Aquino helped organize the donation drive and said local couriers in the Filipino community have agreed to ship donations to those affected by the typhoon. He's been praying for everyone impacted by the typhoon and said the tight-knit Filipino community in Winnipeg has the victims in their thoughts.
