When disasters strike, families lose everything in an instant. You can be their lifeline.
Right now, disaster, persecution, and violence are displacing a record number of families, forcing them to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs—no time to pack, no shelter, and nowhere to go.
This is where you come in.
As we mark 25 years of impact, one thing is clear: every emergency response starts with you.
By starting a fundraiser, making a donation, or sharing the word, you help deliver emergency shelter and lifesaving aid to families, ensuring that no family has to face a crisis alone.
Your gift powers our global response with:
- Pre-positioned Aid: Essential supplies staged near disaster zones
- Rapid-Deploy Teams: Trained experts ready to move
- Local Partners: On the ground, ready to act immediately
With conflict, climate disasters, and displacement at record highs, the need has never been greater, and our ability to respond depends on you.
Kamel fled. You helped her survive.
When
violence erupted in Gaza, Kamel ran with her children. For days, they had no
place to sleep. No walls to protect them. No certainty they’d survive the
night.
Then came a ShelterBox tent. Not just a roof—but a space to breathe. To be safe. To help restore privacy and dignity.
That shelter didn’t arrive by accident.
It arrived because someone like you believed no family should face disaster alone.
Before the next hurricane makes landfall, before the next wildfire forces families to flee, before another mother like Kamel is left on the cold ground with her children— ShelterBox will be ready to act fast—but only because people like you make it possible.
