ShelterBox Update - February 2017

Help People and Change Lives by Volunteering

ShelterBox Canada remains successful due in large part to our ever-growing base of volunteers, many of whom are Rotarians. Over 100 volunteer Ambassadors from coast to coast represent ShelterBox in their communities and we are incredibly grateful for this passionate and dedicated group raising awareness of our mission. If you are looking for a way to combine your passions for ShelterBox and Rotary, learn more about our volunteer roles below.

ShelterBox Canada Ambassadors

Join the team as an Ambassador and help raise awareness and funds for ShelterBox Canada! Ambassador volunteers make presentations, set up displays and share our mission and vision in their own community. This, and all of our volunteer roles, can be completely customized to your schedule and specific interests. The ShelterBox Canada staff will strive to work with you to create a volunteer plan that works best for you.

Rotary Club Champions

The Rotary Club Champion is a volunteer position specifically made for Rotarians. Club Champions are people who share our passion for ensuring no family is without shelter and share that message within their own Rotary Club. It is incredibly simple to become a Club Champion and once you join, you will receive access to webinars, ShelterBox updates and key information during major disasters that you can share with your Rotary Club. Champions aim to deliver increased awareness about ShelterBox within their Club and act as the main point-of-contact between the Club, the ShelterBox Canada National Office and local Ambassadors and volunteers. Our goal is to have a Club Champion in every Rotary Club across the country, does your club have a champion yet!?

If you are interested in joining the ShelterBox Canada volunteer team, or would like an Ambassador to make a presentation to your Rotary Club, please email Tess Widdifield at support@shelterboxcanada.org

Thank You

Shelter is more than just a roof – it’s a home. It’s the foundation for life, for families, for communities. Since ShelterBox began in 2000, our supporters have helped us provide shelter for more than 1.2 million people. Over one million people who not only have protection from the elements, but a place to call home. This would not have been possible without the incredible kindness and generosity from Rotary Clubs and Rotarians across the country. Thank you for your continued support in helping us to ensure that no family is without shelter.

ShelterBox is currently working in Iraq, Haiti, Cameroon, and Niger. We are monitoring Malaysia and Thailand.
