The Baltimore Sun reports that now that the filming is over, some members of "House of Cards" have come together to help the victims of typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

An OCHA report states that 13 million people have been affected by the typhoon. NBC News reports that the Philippine government estimates that 9.8 million have been affected in 44 provinces, 539 municipalities and 56.
Rehya Young, assistant locations manager for "House of Cards," produced by Media Rights Capital, said to The Baltimore Sun: "Through Wednesday, workers on the show will be loading donated goods onto a tractor trailer that will be driven to Los Angeles and shipped to the Philippines."
"We'll be accepting donations until Wednesday, Nov. 20, which will give us time to pack the truck properly and get it to L.A. on time."
The team of "House of Cards" is working with Operations USA, which is expected to ship the relief goods meant for the victims of the typhoon to Philippines from Los Angeles.
Young said to The Baltimore Sun that a number of businesses in the area and union that work on the Netflix's original series, "House of Cards," have contributed to the relief effort.
Recently, the media was abuzz with speculations whether "House of Cards" will continue beyond season 2. Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, had said that their intent is that the "show keeps going."
"It was a 26-episode commitment. It was not our intent that it would just run for two seasons," he had said as quoted by USA Today.
