The Rotary office received a letter dated March 19, 2019, from Kerri Murray, President of ShelterBox USA. Ms. Murray writes:
"Dear Rotary Club of Canton, Thank you for making an impact. Your generous gift will provide shelter and life-saving supplies to vulnerable people devastated by natural disaster or conflict. More than just walls and a roof, shelter is vital for the maintenance of human dignity and the protection of families. Shelter reduces vulnerability, builds community resilience and helps people begin the process of recovery.
Since the year 2000, ShelterBox has served 1.5 million people in over 100 countries around the globe. Every day, our Response Team Members are hand-delivering aid to disaster zones, in the most remote parts of the world to reach people who would otherwise be forgotten. The work of ShelterBox is only possible thanks to the generous support of people like you, who are truly making a difference. Thank you for helping create a world where no family is without shelter when disaster strikes."
