Several area organizations recently joined with Rotary to help buy shelter boxes to send to Haiti following its earthquake Jan. 12.
Oneonta Rotarians and the Otsego-Delaware Job Service Employer Committee joined forces to help Haitians with the ShelterBox packages, which include a 10-person tent, plus water-purification tablets, cooking and eating utensils, basic tools and school supplies.
ShelterBox is a project of Rotary International. The nonprofit relief organization is based in Cornwall, England, according to its website, www.shelterbox.org.
