In response to the recent earthquake disaster in Italy, members of the Rotary Club of Meaford recently approved the purchase of another ShelterBox.
Shelterbox Canada is a charity that provides emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities around the world overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis. Each ShelterBox kit contains a disaster relief tent, as well as cooking equipment, water purification equipment, blankets and more to people who have lost their home.
With this new purchase, Meaford Rotary will have purchased a total of thirty six (36) kits at $1000 each, since 2009.
Each Shelter Box kit is individually numbered and tracked, and if you ever wondered where in the world the Meaford Rotary funded kits were deployed, the locations can be found on the charity’s website at www.shelterboxcanada.org/trackbox.php
