At our meeting January 13th, Paul reported on the results of our December ShelterBox appeal to Club Members.Paul was pleased to report that the club exceeded its fundraising goal by securing enough funds for two shelter boxes, showing strong community support and generosity.
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides emergency shelter, tools, and essential household items to families displaced by disaster or conflict.
ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and essential household items after disaster. There’s no one size fits all solution. Each disaster and community is different. So, they work flexibly, listening to what’s needed and adapting every time. For some situations, family-sized tents are the best solution. They provide shelter until people can start rebuilding. In other places, heavy duty tarpaulins, ropes and nails can patch-up damaged buildings. Essential items like water filters, mosquito nets, and cooking sets help people survive. Each disaster and location have specific needs that ShelterBox tries to support.
