Prince George, B.C.-  British Columbians  have  been quick  to respond to those  hit hardest by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

The  storm  hit the Philippines on November 8th and in less than a month, B.C. residents, have donated $3.37 million to  support the survivors.  With the Province’s commitment to match the first $300,000, the total raised to date now sits at $3.67 million.

"The needs in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan are vast” says  Kimberley Nemrava, provincial director, Canadian Red Cross B.C. and Yukon.

“Thanks to the generosity of British Columbians and government, Red Cross has been able to quickly and effectively provide vital supplies to those who need it most" adds Nemrava.

Nearly $200 thousand dollars worth of the donations have come from British Columbians making donations at BC Liquor Stores.

Typhoon Haiyan destroyed at least 80 thousand homes  and left more than 600 thousand people displaced.
