2009 PW Christmas Boxes — International Seafarers’ Center

"Every seafarer prays to come to Houston during the Christmas Season!" said a seaman from the Philippines. "Shoe boxes are filled to the brim with just the things a seafarer needs and wants, things we really must have and things we’d never buy on our salaries."

To make this dream come true, now is the time to start shopping for those basic items: heavy work socks, bath-size bar soap, disposable razors, shaving cream, tooth brushes and tooth paste, shampoos, deodorant, dental floss, lip balm…(I will be happy to do the shopping for you!)

Items for male seafarers can be put in the container provided in the Recycle Room in Fellowship Hall and will be delivered to the Port of Houston during the holidays.
