Every year for the past 40-plus years, the Galveston Seafarers Center has collected Christmas gifts from the community to deliver aboard ships that will be in port throughout the month of December. The gifts are delivered by our port deacons and volunteers. Many times, these are the only gifts that many seafarers will receive this Christmas! They are now adding year-round gift boxes for the sailors!
Please consider filling a shoe box-sized container with these treasures and dropping them off at the parish office or in the collection bin located in the vestibule of the church. PLease do not wrap the boxes. This allows a quick inspection of the items.
Suggested Gift Box ItemsFull size shampoo T-shirt Full size toothpaste Toothbrush ChapStick Nail Clippers Hand lotion Tissues Gloves Knit cap Keychain (souvenir) Body wash Board games Batteries Sewing Kit Socks Dental floss Comb Razors Ear buds Shaving Cream Anything else you think that a seafarer would need!
Please do not put candy or food items in the boxes. If you wish to donate candy or cookies for the seafarers, you may donate them separately. They will be taken out to the ships along with the gift boxes. Thank you!
