The Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights has been requested by District 7510 to participate in a Hurricane Harvey Relief Project. We are raising money for ShelterBox. ShelterBox has long been supported by Rotary Clubs around the world. ShelterBoxes have provided shelter and emergency supplies for people dealing with catastrophes.
The sturdy green ShelterBoxes are designed to help people who have lost everything. They are filled with practical tools and utensils that help to create the framework for everyday life. Each contains a family-sized tent that protects people from the elements and provides a safe space in which people can start to recover from physical and emotional trauma. The contents differ depending on the disaster and the climate, but items such as solar lights, water storage and purification equipment, thermal blankets and cooking utensils help start the process of creating a home.Please consider making a monetary donation toward this cause so we can have as many ShelterBoxes as possible sent to the areas affected by Harvey. For additional details please contact Jim Ramentol at 908-216-7151 or Hal Daume at 908-447-6290.
