The devastation in Japan has stunned us all. The feeling of helplessness has been a constant refrain among our club members. But as in past disasters, Rotary through its relationship with ShelterBox is ready to act, by sending as many Shelter Box units to area of devastation, we can help. Each box, which costs $1,000 USD, helps shelter, feed and provide tools to ten people to use while displaced. 

The Rotary Club of Springfield is collecting monetary donations to purchase as many ShelterBox units as possible. Won’t you please help us help the hundreds of thousands displaced in Japan by the 8.9 earthquake.

Please send donations (checks payable to Rotary Club of Springfield) to – donations of any size are welcomed:
