Every year, the Seattle Seafarers’ Center provides about 1,000 ditty bags stuffed with basic personal necessities to merchant seafarers. These bags are one way we help seafarers celebrate Christmas while they are far from home during the holiday season. Help make a difference this Christmas by donating items listed below.

Feel free to drop the following items in the baskets in the gathering space: adult sized knit hats, full size shampoo/body wash, full size toothpaste/toothbrush, deodorant, shaving cream, 1-2 razors, candy or snacks, notebook and pen/pencil, socks, gloves, hand or body lotion, deck of cards
