ARE YOU A SHELTERBOX HERO?

You or your club might already be a ShelterBox Hero!  A ShelterBox Hero is any Rotary Club that makes a commitment to support ShelterBox in bringing emergency shelter to families overwhelmed by disaster. There are two ways to be a Hero:
  • Commit to provide at least 1 box/$1,200 per year for three years.
  • Contribute 3 boxes/$3,600 between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2015.
Rotary Club Heroes will receive a ShelterBox banner.
 
ShelterBox is Rotary International's first project partner.  The partnership means these two global organizations collaborate to provide emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families affected by disasters and humanitarian crises.
 
Rotary clubs are core contributors to ShelterBox, enabling the organization to deliver aid to families affected by disasters big and small, throughout the year.  Rotarians also play a major role in the ShelterBox organization; and local Rotarians in disaster-affected regions are often invaluable to supporting ShelterBox operations.
 
In these many ways, ShelterBox is one of the most simple, direct, tangible ways that Rotarians can make a big impact in the world.
Please contact your local ShelterBox Ambassador for more information.  We are always eager to attend your meetings or events to tell you more and answer your questions.  Whether you choose to become a ShelterBox Hero or make a smaller contribution, your support will make a tremendous difference in the lives of those who have lost nearly everything.
