Christmas Shoeboxes

Each year, the Houston International Seafarers Center distributes 8,000 to 11,000 shoeboxes filled with essential items to seafarers visiting the Port of Houston. These dedicated men and women often spend long periods aboard marine vessels, separated from their loved ones.  With your support, we can provide thousands of seafarers special boxes filled with treats and gifts during the holiday season.

Threse boxes are personally delivered to each ship by Seafarers Center Chaplains, ship visitors and staff.
