Shine For ShelterBox
When disasters strike and power lines go down, families are left vulnerable, wrenched away from comfort and light.
By hosting a Shine For ShelterBox event, you will be helping us provide essential shelter and disaster relief to families, just like yours, who have lost everything.
You can make it a cosy supper at home with family and friends, or bring your neighbours together in a local venue. We’ve got all kinds of ideas for making your night special.
Leave a lasting legacy with ShelterBox
With a Gift in your Will to ShelterBox, you can be there to help families survive the immediate impact of disaster for the next generation.
Your special gift will make a lasting impact on your global family by providing shelter, security and safety to those left most vulnerable, whenever and wherever disaster strikes.
To make giving easy, ShelterBox Australia has partnered with Gathered Will, one of Australia’s largest and most trusted end-of-life services sites. Completing a will with Gathered Here takes less than 10 minutes, is absolutely free and easy to do.
