ShelterBox: 20 Years of Disaster Relief

Thank you to Bill Tobin, Rotary Relations Manager, for a wonderful program on ShelterBox USA. Bill began as a volunteer for ShelterBox after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Since then Bill has shared the ShelterBox story to thousands of Rotarians, organized fundraisers and awareness events for ShelterBox USA and helped lead the team of USA Ambassadors in raising over 1.4 million dollars for ShelterBox in 2017. For his volunteer efforts with ShelterBox USA, Bill has received the United States Presidential Volunteer Service Award seven times.

Here are some additional resources for you and your members, I highly recommend the family activity page while we’re all ‘sheltering in place’.
