SEAMENS' BOXES

This year St. John’s UMC is requesting only donations of cash towards the purchase of the contents of our Seamen’s Boxes. They are delivered to the Seamen’s Center in La Porte by the Fidelity Sunday School Class sometime before Christmas. We have been provided with a list of 35 items that are greatly appreciated by the seamen and seawomen. Jo Smith and Peggy Carrell will go shopping and will choose the items to put into the shoe boxes based on the funds received. Please make your donation marked clearly as being for the “Seamen’s Boxes”. We are asking that your donation be for $25 as a minimum as this will usually purchase a good number of their requested items. If you have any questions or would like to help fill the boxes when it’s about time for delivery, please contact Jo Smith or Peggy Carrell.
