During the holiday season, the Seattle Seafarers Center (Mission to Seafarers) gives away over 1,000 “ditty bag” care packages to merchant seafarers. These small gifts are one way we welcome and care for seafarers during the holiday season, especially while seafarers are far away from their homes and families.

You help make this happen! Join St. John the Baptist, Seattle for their annual Ditty Bag Stuffing Party, and gather to stuff ditty bags, share stories about seafarers ministry, and bless the bags to be given away.
