 Annual Shoebox Campaign for the Mission to Seafarers 2019  We are asked to fill a shoebox with articles listed below.

These boxes are distributed to foreign sailors who come to our Province’s Halifax Port during December. Many of these men

 and women come from warm countries into our cold climate ill prepared and too lightly clothed. The gifts are always so

 welcomed and appreciated. 1800 to 2000 boxes are gathered from all over the Diocese. We have participated in this

 project for many years and  hope to continue. As an alternative, you may join a friend to fill a box or gather some of the

      items in a bag which can be added to boxes at the Mission. Suggested items will be listed on boxes.
