About us
We provide emergency shelter to people who have lost their home to disaster, enabling them to rebuild their lives.
Realtors, interior designers, and home builders across the country are joining together with ShelterBox Canada to help people affected by disaster.
What if for every home you help sell, design, or build for someone here in Canada, you could also provide an emergency shelter and supplies for people displaced by disaster around the world?
Through the Give a Home program, you can do just that!
Shelter is more than just a roof – it’s a home. It’s the foundation for life, for families, for communities.
ShelterBox works directly with communities to provide customized aid to help families recover. Our aid is more than a canvas roof overhead or a warm blanket to wrap a child in. It’s a good night’s sleep after what has felt like a nightmare. It’s the only home a family may have for weeks, months, or even longer.

Your Impact
Diane’s baby, Yokimi, was just three months old when Cyclone Winston hit Fiji.
When the cyclone swept through Tokou, families sheltered in the community centre. As they waited for the storm to pass, they saw corrugated iron fly off roofs, possessions scattered and whole homes reduced to cement foundations.
There was no way to rest in the community centre, as the cyclone created such a big storm surge that the water came up to people’s chests. Parents had to hold their children up in the air in order to keep them safe.
Diane’s home and their possessions were completely destroyed. Because of people like you, ShelterBox was able to provide Diane a tent and the supplies she needed to restart.
I’m so happy to have a tent – to have a safe place of our own to sleep.

Giving a Place to Call Home
Meet Stephanie Winger, a realtor from Windsor-Essex.
Her motivation for joining the Give a Home program was to give back in a tangible way while setting herself apart from other realtors in the area. It is proven that social corporate responsibility is important to homebuyers. According to the BDC, showing that a firm that values positive social change can solidify and guarantee customer loyalty.
Stephanie’s clients took notice of her involvement with the program and she shared this feedback with us:
I received a great response from clients. They were excited to see that I support ShelterBox. They were glad that, through me, they could be a part of giving a home to a family. It was really a way for me to combine my passion for ShelterBox with my clients’ desire to also give back.
