Through your generosity, you are giving a family a warm and peaceful night's sleep despite the chaos and violence they have endured. Most importantly, you are giving them tools needed to enable their recover. According to PDG Jack Young, past Board of Director and Shelter Box Board of Director Emeritus, Shelter Box is Rotary International's Official Project Partner in disaster Relief.
At Shelter Box, we are in our eights year (20th year since it was founded) of helping families displaced by the deadly civil war in Syria. Described as the worst humanitarian crisis our time, thousands of families are not only fleeing from violence but also facing the life-threatening danger of winter displacement camps. They are desperate need of a home, blankets and warm clothes for their children. Your donation could give a family the supplies and shelter they need to make it through the winter and beyond.
Across the world Shelter Box is working to ensure no family is without shelter when disaster strikes and your support is at the heart of every deployment we undertake. At a time when more people have been displaced from their homes by events like conflict and natural disaster then any other time in history, your participation (Whether as a Rotarian or Rotary Club) is very meaningful. Families in Syria and around the world desperately need your support.
PDG Jack Young, Past Board of Director for Shelter Box USA shares with all that Shelter Box is honored to have been nominated for the 2018 and 2019 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of our efforts to shelter families displaced by extreme conflict. This is only possible because of the dedication and generosity of our incredible volunteers and supporters like you.
