SHELTERBOX
Stock the Box Starts Now—And We Need You.
 
Today marks the powerful launch of ShelterBox USA’s annual Stock the Box campaign because families in crisis can’t wait.
 
Right now, disaster, persecution, and violence are displacing a record number of families, forcing them to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs—no time to pack, no shelter, and nowhere to go.

When the worst happens, they need more than hope; they need help. Fast.
This is where you come in.
 
 
 
As we mark 25 years of impact, one thing is clear: every emergency response starts with you.
 
When you Stock the Box, you make it possible for ShelterBox to respond quickly with lifesaving aid, ensuring no family has to face a crisis alone. 
 
Your gift powers our global response with:
  • Pre-positioned Aid: Essential supplies staged near disaster zones
  • Rapid-Deploy Teams: Trained experts ready to move
  • Local Partners: On the ground, ready to act immediately
With conflict, climate disasters, and displacement at record highs, the need has never been greater, and our ability to respond depends on you.

Will you help ShelterBox be ready?
