Christmas Boxes for Seafarers
Seafarer chaplains hand deliver wrapped shoeboxes full of small gifts to seafarers during the holidays. They begin shortly after Thanksgiving and continue gifting seafarers until all the gifts have been distributed! These gifts of love should be packed shoebox size, WRAPPED SECURELY as one unit in Christmas paper. PLEASE DO NOT WRAP LID AND BOX SEPARATELY. Please do not place bows on the boxes. Plastic shoeboxes become an extra gift for the seafarer! Find more details including gift suggestions here.
You are encouraged to visit the Seafarers’ Center and bring your boxes to either center. Questions? Call 713.672.0511 or email houstonchaplains@yahoo.com.
