In light of the devasting three typhoons that recently hit the Philippines, Toronto creatives got together to launch Tulong Tulong, an online store raising funds for typhoon relief. The platform is selling a range of donated goods and services with all proceeds being donated to support those affected by the typhoon in the Philippines. The platform will be donating proceeds to For the Future PH and For Our Farmers, two youth-led organizations based in the Philippines.
Tulong Tulong offers several ways to support. Consumers can purchase one or more of the $5 raffle tickets to win their chosen item. Alternatively, fans can also purchase items directly in the 'Up For Grabs' section, however, there are very limited quantities. Currently, the relief platform only has the capacity to entertain purchases in Toronto and GTA.
