Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Right now, more than 100 million people around the world have lost their homes to disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this. By providing emergency shelter, tools, and household supplies to displaced families after a disaster, we enable families to begin to rebuild and recover, transforming despair into hope. Our club has supported this Rotary International Disaster Relief partner for many years and is proud to be a SILVER HERO this current Rotary year, which means the club and/or individuals in the club have donated over $3,000. We can become GOLD at $5,000, so CLICK DONATE below toward GOLD!
