Haiti Relief Initiative - Shelter Boxes
Contribution for
ShelterBox Aid in Haiti
Our District Governor is suggesting that donations to ShelterBox would be the best way to help with the tragic situation in Haiti. It is sponsored by a Rotary Club and administered by the Rotary Clubs of Lakewood Ranch, FL and Helstin-Lizard, UK.
I invite you to participate as your
circumstances allow. You can contact any board member at
any time. If making out a check to RCoMH, please mark
your donations "ShelterBox".
| Here's what's in a Shelter Box (at a minimum): |
 |
|
| - A 10-person tent | - Shovel & rope | |
| - Sleeping bags and mats for ten | - Mosquito netting | |
| - A multi-fuel cook stove | - Rain gear | |
| - Pots/pans/plates/cups/utensils | - A children's activity kit | |
| - A tool kit | - A water purification kit | |
| - and more! | ||
Boxes are tailored for the environment they are going to. his is the largest club project in the history of Rotary. ShelterBox delivers exactly the kind of aid that is desperately needed now in Haiti. 100% of the donation actually ends up on the ground with a tangible and direct impact. 1,000 boxes have already been committed and 700 are in transit. Sponsorship costs $1,000. This covers all the content in the box, the cost to deliver the box to its destination and the cost to put a ShelterBox Response Team on the ground to monitor the distribution and set up of the boxes.
Donations may be mailed to the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor, P.O. Box 941, Marblehead, MA 01945. Donations may also be sent directly to ShelterBox USA, 8374 Market St. #203, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202 or made online at shelterboxusa.org.
