ShelterBox believes:

"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 just a 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 also prevent 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."

  

Bill Betz, Professor & Chair Emeritus at University of Colorado School of Medicine, will join us to speak about protecting and preserving wilderness areas right in our own backyards, here in Summit & Eagle Counties.  Bill is an immediate past chair of the Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance (ESWA), and can speak more about the progress to protect over 400,000 acres of Colorado public land from development through the CORE Act.
