Christmas at Sea
Christmas at Sea is just around the corner. The Seamen's Center collects Ditty Boxes from groups like Kingswood UMC and they give them out to the sailors who come into the Port of Wilmington during the holiday season. This year is no exception. Christmas at Sea can seem overwhelming, but the Seamen's Center is blessed to have knitters and volunteers who help pull it all together.
Every year, the community rallies together to fill the void that the comes from being away from home and family during the holidays. The program last year delivered nearly 1100 ditty boxes to ships arriving at the Port of Wilmington during December. This year, KUMC will be packing ditty boxes with the items guided by the shopping list below. Allen Streett will be taking the boxes on Sunday, December 10, to be delivered.
Remember, all items must fit inside a shoebox!
