Norfolk Sister City Association encourages our members and community to support the relief efforts for Typhoon Yolanda. We are proud of Norfolk’s Sister City Relationship with Cagayan de Oro and VA Beach’s Friendship City relationship with Olongapo, please support the events planned over the next few weeks so that our brothers and sisters in the Philippines can aid in the recovery. We will continue to post opportunities on Facebook and on the NSCA website to keep our friends informed. NSCA will add new lists of events and where contributions can be made.

Letter from Governor Bob McDonnell
The Better Business Bureau is warning donors to be cautious and ensure that they give to reputable charities by checking them at www.give.org or www.guidestar.org, for example.
The Philippine Cultural Center and Council of United Filipino Organizations of Tidewater have set up an account for donations at TowneBank, Cultural Center spokesman Roy Estaris said. People may donate by bringing a check made out to CUFOT to any of the bank’s branches, preferably the Kempsville branch at 5200 Providence Road in Virginia Beach.
