ShelterBox USA Participates In Haiti Relief Efforts

We learned what the ShelterBox USA, Inc. is doing as part of the relief efforts in Haiti and how we can help.

The purpose of the organization is to provide victims of disaster with shelter, by supporting the efforts of the Shelter Box Trust. Shelterboxes are prepared and packed using all new materials as delivered from manufacturers, at the Shelterbox warehouse based in Helston, Cornwall.

The standard Shelterbox weighs 110 lbs. and has approximate dimensions 2'3" x 1'4" x 11". They are sealed and banded for transit and security. Box contents vary depending on the nature of the disaster requiring their use.
