Shelter Boxes

Meet Ally Buck, Rotary and Community Fundraising Coordinator at ShelterBox Canada, whose Rotary journey is grounded in humanitarian service, inclusion, and community impact.

Ally joined Rotary three years ago, beginning as a Rotaractor while working with ShelterBox, the global disaster-relief organization founded by a Rotary Club in 2000. Wanting to give back to a movement that has long supported ShelterBox’s mission, Rotary felt like a natural fit.

What Ally values most about Rotary is its openness and sense of belonging. She speaks candidly about being welcomed exactly as she is — tattoos, piercings, and all — and how that visibility helps signal to younger and more alternative-looking people that there is a place for them in Rotary too.
