Fundraiser At VIU SupportsShelter Boxes For Haiti
The Shelter Box program is an initiative of the Rotary Club that started in England 10 years ago.
Each Shelter Box contains a 10 person tent, 10 sleeping bags, tools and equipment, water purification equipment and tablets, hand crank radio, cooking and eating supplies including a stove (designed to burn anything flammable), the basic necessities to shelter up to 10 people.
There will be a donation table set up at VIU on the main floor of the library until Friday and will be staffed from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm each day. Each box costs $1,000 and there are 3,000 boxes scheduled for Haiti with an urgent need for thousands more.
If you can help, this is a great way of providing very practical help through a trusted organization who will get the help to those who need it. To learn more about the Shelter Box program visit their website using this LINK.
