The ShelterBox disaster relief tent
At the heart of every ShelterBox is a disaster relief tent for a large family
that becomes more than a simple shelter; it becomes a home.
Where we’ve worked
Volunteers
ShelterBox Response Teams (SRT)
assess the need and distribute boxes
on the ground.
Warehouse Volunteers are on hand
to pack boxes.
