ShelterBox Ride

Who is ShelterBox USA?

We deliver the essentials families need to begin rebuilding their lives after a natural disaster or conflict. Everyone deserves a place to call home. It is a human right and the first step towards recovery after disaster.

Shelter is so much more than just a roof. It’s the foundation for life, families and communities. It is a place to feel safe after days or weeks of fear. It offers protection from harsh weather, privacy, and helps to preserve dignity. It’s a space to heal from trauma.

Each disaster is different, and so is every community. We don’t believe that one size fits all, so we spend time talking to affected families to make sure we provide the right support at the right time.

For some disaster-hit communities, our family-sized tents are the best solution until they can start rebuilding their homes. In other disasters, heavy-duty tarpaulins, ropes, and nails are needed to create emergency shelters or patch up damaged buildings.

Sometimes we provide a small amount of cash to families, alongside essential shelter materials and training when the conditions are right. Tents, tarpaulins, and tools are at the heart of our disaster responses. But when it’s clear providing cash alongside shelter essentials will have an even bigger impact on people’s lives, that’s what we’ll do.
