ShelterBox Update DECEMBER 2022:

GIFTS THAT SPREAD LOVE AROUND THE WORLD

Recovery starts with shelter. Global Gifts help empower families to start the process of recovery after disaster. Defy gift-giving conventions today and help families recover for tomorrow.

ShelterBox Global Gifts are a great way to give alternative gifts to family, friends, colleagues, or someone special all while making a difference. It’s easy to honor that special person in your life by choosing a gift that will provide life-saving shelter and aid to a family affected by disaster or conflict. These items symbolize shelter aid that ShelterBox Canada provides and will help where the need is greatest.

  • Choose your gift: a shelter kit for those who love DIY, a kitchen set for your favorite home cook – there are lots of options to choose from!

  • Send your gift: Your gift comes with a fillable e-card describing their gift and all the great work it’s doing around the world.

  • Deliver hope: Your gift will directly impact the lives of families who have lost their homes due to conflict and disaster.

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.
