Members of Rotary Club of Brampton's Emergency Committee have voted in support of releasing this year’s Emergency Relief funds to ShelterBox.
- Hurricane Melissa Response (Late 2025): Following Hurricane Melissa, ShelterBox deployed aid from pre-positioned warehouses in Barbados and Panama to deliver emergency shelter and supplies quickly.
- Aid Provided: Kits included family tents, tools, cooking equipment, water filtration, blankets, and solar lights, with tarpaulins and rope for quick repairs.
- Partnerships: They collaborated with local organizations like Rotary International and Food for the Poor to distribute aid and reach remote areas.
- Reach: The response aimed to support up to 10,000 people, reaching hard-to-reach mountainous communities in Westmoreland, Hanover, St. James, and St. Elizabeth.
