ShelterBox Update JULY 2022:

To quote Bernard, from the Rotary Club of Cebu in the Philippines, "ShelterBox opened our eyes to a whole new level of helping humanity. Collaboration between Rotary and ShelterBox it's really been life changing." We couldn't have reached thousands of people impacted by disaster and conflict this year without the help of Rotarians on the ground and those abroad helping to raise funds for ShelterBox responses.
Thanks to your dedication, an amazing 198 Rotary Clubs in Canada have joined our Hero Program and a total of $853,146 has been raised by Canadian Rotarians this fiscal year. Thank you for working towards a world where no one is left without shelter after disaster. For more information visit us online at: www.shelterboxcanada.org

ShelterBox and Rotary are official project partners in international disaster relief. ShelterBox is a registered charity independent of Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation. Since 2012, we have been neighbours, friends and community leaders. Their aim is to create positive, lasting change in communities at home and all over the world.project partners with Rotary International, a global community of 1.2 million. Rotary has supported ShelterBox from the start when a local club championed the simple idea to package up essential shelter items in our now-iconic ShelterBoxes. As ShelterBox grew, so did Rotary support, and we are now international project partners in disaster relief. This partnership has helped us to become who we are today. Our global network of ShelterBox affiliates, which provides all-round assistance, evolved from Rotary relationships.
