Nemeroff
ShelterBox, an international disaster relief organization, named Hamilton resident Len Nemeroff its Ambassador of the Month.
Nemeroff was selected from a group of more than 400 ShelterBox USA ambassador volunteers nationwide who actively raise funds and awareness for the charity through public engagements.
ShelterBox provides humanitarian aid — emergency tented shelter and other supplies, such as stoves, blankets and water filtration systems — to help families rebuild their lives after losing their homes and possessions following a natural disaster or conflict.
The organization is honoring Nemeroff, a member of the Rotary Club of Hamilton Township, for his efforts to assist families made homeless by Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines in November.
Nemeroff helped to raise more than $90,000 in only a few weeks. His efforts will assist nearly 100 families.
Since 2000, ShelterBox has provided disaster survivors with shelter, warmth and dignity following more than 200 disasters in over 90 countries. Each iconic green ShelterBox contains a disaster relief tent, stove, blankets and water filter, among other tools for survival.
