ShelterBox USA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency shelter and tools for displaced families in the aftermath of disasters. Founded in 2004, the company has swiftly responded to 275 disasters in 95 countries, offering immediate emergency shelter and other life-saving equipment such as disaster relief tents, thermal blankets, water storage and purification equipment, solar lamps, and cooking utensils.

The aid can be tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with a focus on sourcing robust items to ensure their lasting value.
ShelterBox's highly trained Response Teams collaborate with local leaders, organizations, aid agencies, and global Rotary clubs to distribute aid on the ground, effectively reaching and assisting the world's most vulnerable people.
