Rotary Club’s donation helps with Nepal relief
The York Rotary Club recently donated $7,400 to ShelterBox, an organization that is providing emergency shelter and supplies to the Nepal relief effort.
Within days after the April 25 earthquake, ShelterBox was able to provide tents to four hospitals in Kathmandu, so that patients can be treated in privacy, according to its website.
It is also sending its shelter kits to remote regions of Nepal to help people who lost their homes.
The club previously donated funds to ShelterBox on behalf of Haiti after earthquakes ravaged that country in 2010.
