ShelterBox is the premier international disaster relief organization that provides shelter and lifesaving equipment, after natural and manmade disasters. Responding to over 100 disasters in more than 60 countries, ShelterBox has firmly established itself at the forefront of disaster relief.
The first box in 2000 was sponsored by Rotary, and today is the largest Rotary Club project in the 100 year history of the organization.
What ShelterBox provides is unique and does not duplicate any other aid that is provided. We work with all established relief organizations to enhance and complete the services and supplies that help survivors. In many cases, our boxes have made the difference between life and death.
The headquarters for ShelterBox USA is located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida and is one of eleven affiliates around the globe, with five regional offices and over 150 representatives across the Country.
There are more than 50 highly trained ShelterBox Response Team members based in the United States who distribute boxes in disaster zones, work closely with local organizations, international aid agencies and Rotary Clubs worldwide.
