About Rotary Friends
Rotary Friends is a private home/room rental platform created exclusively for Rotary members and their families.
Our mission is simple: to connect Rotarians from around the world through safe, affordable, and meaningful travel experiences while directly supporting ShelterBox USA's good work.
Why Host with Rotary Friends? If you have a spare bedroom, guest house, or even an entire house, you can turn it into an opportunity to welcome fellow Rotarians while supporting ShelterBox.
Here’s why other Rotary hosts are opening their homes:
Build Deeper Connections Renting your home or bedroom to a fellow Rotarian isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about forging genuine friendships.
Support ShelterBox Every booking funds shelter, essential items, and technical assistance to help some of the world’s most vulnerable people recover and rebuild their homes after a disaster. 50% of the profit we collect from bookings goes to ShelterBox. By hosting, you’re not just earning a little extra income; you’re making a tangible contribution to help those in need.
Safe and Exclusive Community Our platform is for Rotary members only. All users must list the name of the Rotary Club they belong to, giving you peace of mind when welcoming guests or booking stays. We also recommend reading potential guests' reviews before accepting the booking.
The Asheville South Rotary Club
Rotary Friends was founded by members of the Asheville South Rotary Club who lived through the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in 2024. Having witnessed some of our neighbors lose everything, we felt a deep calling to ensure no one faces disaster alone. Our home/room rental service isn't just about a place to stay—it's a mission to provide emergency shelter for families worldwide. Your stay directly supports ShelterBox, Rotary’s official project partner in global disaster relief. Together, we’re turning hospitality into hope.
