For over a century, the Rotary Club of Hamilton has been a cornerstone of compassion and service in our city. From feeding local families to supporting youth programs and community projects, our members have always rolled up their sleeves to make life a little better for those around us.
But sometimes, the call for help extends beyond Hamilton — and that’s when Rotary’s global network shines.
This month, Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica and the Caribbean with unprecedented force. It’s being called one of the most devastating natural disasters the island has ever faced. Entire communities are without shelter, clean water, or essential supplies.
In moments like these, Rotary’s international partnerships come alive.
Through ShelterBox Canada — a Rotary-supported organization providing emergency shelter and tools for families who have lost everything — and the Rotary International Disaster Response Fund, we can act swiftly and directly.
What makes this support unique is accountability and impact.
💯 100% of the funds go directly to helping people rebuild — no middle layers, no waste, just immediate relief and recovery.
This is what it means to be part of Rotary: thinking globally while acting locally, and knowing that service has no borders.

Together, we can bring hope and stability to families who have lost so much — one act of kindness at a time.
