ANNUAL SHOEBOX CAMPAIGN
In
2017, staff and volunteers gave out 1464 shoebox
gifts to the seafarers visiting the Port of Halifax
during
the
month of December.
What a truly heart warming experience this is for
all!
St. Stephen’s Parish
sent 30 shoeboxes to the campaign.
There are shoe boxes available in the
vestibule
of St. Stephen’s Church
Items for shoeboxes include:
HAT, SCARF, GLOVES OR MITTS, SOCKS,
WRAPPED HARD CANDY (NO CHOCOLATE),
SOAP, TOOTHPASTE, TOOTHBRUSH,
SHAMPOO, SHAVING FOAM, RAZORS, DEODORANT,
LIP BALM, PLAYING CARDS, MEMENTO OF NOVA SCOTIA,
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND OR CANADA
If it’s easier for you to just
put 6 pairs of socks,
or hats or mittens in a box,
that’s great too!
There should not be any liquor, sharp objects,
chocolate or flammables
enclosed.
We thank everyone who supports
this campaign!
Boxes should be delivered by 30
November.
