The Rotary Club of Ilkley Wharfedale is asking the local community to support people affected by a devastating disaster in Nepal.
Rotary members and volunteers will be at Tesco Ilkley on Saturday 5th September from 9am, collecting donations for the Nepal Disaster Appeal.
The appeal aims to provide urgent support to people whose homes and communities have been affected, helping with essentials including safe shelter, clean water, food, sanitation and other supplies.
Rotary is working alongside its global disaster response partner, ShelterBox, which is assessing the situation and working with partners in the region to identify the most urgent needs.
ShelterBox previously worked with Rotary in Nepal following the devastating earthquakes of 2015, providing emergency shelter to almost 68,000 people.
The Rotary Club of Ilkley Wharfedale is now calling on local residents to support the latest appeal.
The club says donations of any size can help, whether it is loose change, £5, £10 or more.
Members will be at Tesco Ilkley from 9am on Saturday, with residents encouraged to stop and speak to the volunteers and donate if they can.
The club is also asking people who are unable to donate to share the appeal with friends, family and neighbours.
A spokesperson for the Rotary Club of Ilkley Wharfedale said:
“Whatever you can give, it matters.”
The club thanked Tesco for supporting the collection, as well as its volunteers and the people of Ilkley and Wharfedale for their support.
