SHOE BOX CAMPAIGN

When ships visit the Port of Halifax

during the month of December,

 each seafarer receives a shoebox gift.

For some this is their only gift. 

What goes into a box? 

 A hat, scarf, gloves or mitts,

wrapped hard candy (no chocolate),

 soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo,

shaving foam, razors, deodorant and lypsyl

 – or six pairs of socks, or hats or mitts –

 the Mission to Seafarers volunteers go

through the boxes to ensure

there is a variety for everyone. 

Whatever you give will be appreciated. 

Drop off in Church

or at the Parish Office.
