A total of £407.80 was collected at Caistor and £280.00 at Market Rasen.
Rotary spokesman David Mason said: “Together with a profit from selling Rotary garments, we will be able to send £702.10 off to Shelter Box.
“The charity will be urgently replacing stocks as the recent Tsunami in Java will have used many boxes loaded with tents, cookers, utensils, tools, sleeping bags and water purifiers.
