Clarkston Rotary Club accepts donations to Shelterbox USA, providing emergency shelter to earthquake victims in Haiti.
“This is one of the few ways people in our area can directly affect the lives of those suffering from this, and other, terrible natural disasters,” said Mary Sloan, Clarkston Rotarian and local representative for ShelterBox USA. “ShelterBox will provide a home for 10 people. Help is on the way.”?
Each ‘big green box? contains a tent, cooking equipment, sleeping bags, blankets and tools, intended to support a family of 10. ShelterBox dispatched 700 so far, with more on the way.
‘Thousands of families have been affected by the Haiti earthquake tragedy, and our volunteers around the world are coming together to make sure that affected families receive ShelterBox aid as quickly as possible,” said Veronica Miller, ShelterBox USA executive director. “The outpouring of public support has been incredible, but more help is still needed. If you can help, even in a small way, please do.??
Donations made out to ShelterboxUSA can be sent to Clarkston Rotary, P.O. Box 43 , Clarkston, MI 48347. For more information about ShelterBox, contact Mary Sloan at marymsloan@comcast.net.
