Response to Haiti

The Rotary Club of Uxbridge has reacted quickly to the crisis in Haiti by donating a Shelterbox to the relief effort. The Shelterbox organization, which is closely associated with Rotary International, has already sent over 1700 boxes to Haiti with another 1600 to soon follow. Please visit www.shelterbox.ca for more information and daily updates. Individuals who want to help can contribute directly to Shelterbox through the web site.

The Uxbridge Club has also allocated $2500 in funds to match $2500 in donations made directly to Shelterbox by individual club members. The matching funds will be allocated directly to a longer term project for Haiti.

We continue to review our response to this crisis and will post updates on this page.
