Help Rotary Clubs Provide Shelters to Typhoon Victims

The Hillsborough Rotary Club in support of District 7510 and Rotary International is asking for the help of all businesses and residents of New Jersey to donate to the disaster in the Philippines. 

Super Typhoon Haiyan has devastated parts of the Philippines and they are in a desperate situation from the storm. They are in need of the basic supplies that a human being needs to sustain their lives, the items that we take for granted.  You can help by donating to Shelter Box.   

Shelter Box is the premier international aid organization that provides emergency shelter and life-saving equipment following disasters such as earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict.

The top priority of many aid organizations is to provide food, water and medical care to help people survive the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Without protection from the elements, survivors are at a higher risk as they await nourishment or medical attention. We recognized that little or no assistance was given in terms of proper shelter to help them through the first few days, weeks and months as they tried to rebuild their lives. In response, Shelter Box developed a solution to help disaster survivors during the critical period following a disaster but preceding reconstruction.

The Hillsborough Rotary Club, through its foundation, is asking for donations to help purchase Shelter Boxes for the Philippines. You can donate online at the Hillsborough Rotary Club website.  Click on the "Donate" button and follow the instructions.

By making a charitable gift to the Rotary Club of Hillsborough Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, the donor understands that charitable donations are not refundable.
