Foundation Moment - Rotary Direct | |

Last year, the Foundation raised over $434 million and funded more than 1,190 global grants, 470 district grants, and 225 disaster response grants to help communities thrive.
Rotary Direct is one of the easiest and most secure ways for donors to support the Foundation; because contributions are automated, donors don’t need to worry about sending checks or remembering to make an annual contribution on time.
Rotary Direct saves time and reduces administrative costs. Monthly, quarterly, and annual gift options are available. Members can enroll at the Rotary Direct page, return a completed Rotary Direct enrollment form, or enroll by phone by calling the international office at 866-976-8279.

In the face of the tragedy unfolding in Turkey and Syria ShelterBox is ready with lifesaving shelter and supplies and critical aid items to help a family who has lost everything. 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 justa 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.
Shelter and other essential items help people protect themselves from diseases like coronavirus and malaria.
Emergency shelter can alsoprevent communities from scattering. This means people stay connected and build resilience together.
When you don’t have to keep moving or worry about where to sleep at night, you can think about tomorrow. Items like tents, tarpaulins, tools, blankets, mosquito nets, cooking sets and water filters help to meet the most urgent needs, so you can start to earn a living, send children to school and rebuild your home.
Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, but a dry and warm place to sleep, prepare meals and be with your family is the vital first step.
You can help by donating to help Lake Chelan Rotary purchase several ShelterBox. Please give your donations to club treasurer Dan Hodge or send your donation to Lake Chelan Rotary (ShelterBox). PO Box 601, Chelan, WA 98816.
