ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides temporary shelter and life saving supplies to displaced families. Each ShelterBox typically contains a tent specially designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, water purification kit, blankets, tools, and other necessities to help a family survive after a disaster. The contents of a ShelterBox are tailored to the nature and location of the disaster and are designed to be carried by two people.
Chartered in 1981, the Rotary Club of Bradley-Bourbonnais has served the Kankakee County Community in many ways for over 42 years. It has also maintained the Rotary International Spirit of Service through National and International projects such as the elimination of Polio across the world.
Our Club strives to achieve our service goals and fundraisers in a spirit of fun, fellowship, and networking. Some of the local projects we have sponsored include working at and donating to local food pantries, the purchase and installation of accessible playground equipment at Perry Farm, and the purchase and installation of waiting benches at Metro Bus Stops. Our Club also recognizes achievements in education through our annual lunch honoring select eighth-grade students at local schools and awarding an annual scholarship to a BBCHS graduate. Internationally, we have purchased and deployed dozens of shelter box survival kits for areas impacted by natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes. We have hosted high school foreign exchange students for a full school year, and teams of business people from other countries showing them a week in the life of our community.
Thank you to our year-long Sponsors!
