MISSION TO SEAFARERS SHOEBOX CAMPAIGN

The Parish of Christ Church is collecting items for The Mission to Seafarers (Halifax) for their annual Christmas Shoebox Campaign.

The Shoeboxes are filled with the necessities and holiday comforts that will bring the spirit of the season to each seafarer. The Mission to Seafarers visits every vessel which visits the Port of Halifax in December and delivers a shoebox gift to every seafarer.

Each shoebox includes:

HAT, SCARF, GLOVES OR MITTS, SOCKS, WRAPPED HARD CANDY (NO CHOCOLATE), SOAP, TOOTHPASTE, TOOTHBRUSH, SHAMPOO, SHAVING FOAM, RAZORS, DEODORANT AND LYPSYL, PLAYING CARDS, MEMENTO OF NOVA SCOTIA, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND OR CANADA.

Full size toiletry items are preferred to sample/travel sizes.

Please, no alcohol, or sharp objects.

For safety concerns, no drawstrings, tassels, or pom poms.

For those who like to knit, a scarf and hat pattern are available at the back of the church.

If full shoeboxes are donated, please do not seal the shoeboxes. Any and all items to fill shoeboxes are also gladly accepted in all quantities.

We are also in need of shoeboxes (no boot boxes) and gift wrap.

Drop Box is available at the church for donations.

Deadline for donations at Christ Church Windsor is the last Sunday in November (Nov. 26, 2023).
