PARKER, Colo. — International disaster relief organization ShelterBox USA today thanked the Rotary Club of Parker, Colorado, for a record-setting effort that raised more than $22,500 in one week to help fund ShelterBox’s response to the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye (formerly Turkey) and Syria.

It was a chilly day, but the Rotary Club of Parker was one of many community groups soliciting food for the Parker Task Force at local grocery stores on March 4. Thank you for the great community support from shoppers! We collected 63 boxes of food, 50 gallons of milk, 133 packages of ground beef and over $1000 in cash and gift cards just at our location!
This beautiful stamped-metal plaque is a gift to the Rotary Club of Parker from Respire Haiti. Our club has supported the mission of Respire Haiti through several projects since 2014, including:
- a District International Grant that provided outside solar lighting for its campus
- a Global Grant that provided a solar-powered system to provide electricity to its buildings
- recently, a grant for computers for its computer lab, books for its library, and equipment for a laboratory for its medical center so the school can do its own laboratory blood analysis.
The tree represents the only tree present when the school was begun on its mountain-top campus in 2011 after the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010.
These projects for Respire Haiti show the power of many Rotarians coming together to make a difference across the globe. Thank you for your support!
