Christmas Shoe Box Campaign
This year we are looking for Men’s Items Only. Due to last year’s quotas, we do not require any Women’s Items this year.
Each year during the holiday season the Mission to Seafarers distributes gift boxes of much needed items to seafarers who arrive at the Port of Halifax. The Mission depends on the support of Churches and the Community. Many groups/individuals ask what to include in the shoe boxes. Here is a list to guide you: - Hat- Scarf- Mitts/Gloves- Socks- Personal Care Items, such as: - Soap- Deodorant- Shampoo- Shaving Cream- Disposable Razors- Tooth Brush- Tooth Paste- Hard Candy (no chocolate or cookies)- a small memento (optional)- Greeting Card (optional)
- Note Paper- Envelopes- Pen- Post Cards.
For the safety and security of the Mission to Seafarers and to protect prospective seafarers all Alcohol and Sharp Knives (Jack Knives, etc.) are prohibited by law. Please do not wrap the Shoe Boxes. The Christmas Wrap for the box can be folded and placed inside the box, if you wish. Once they are received by the Mission, each shoe box is then inspected and wrapped according to the Canadian Customs Procedures and Regulations. Shoe Boxes may be dropped off anytime between now and Christmas -- although it would be nice to have them by the mid December -- directly to the Mission at 844 Marginal Road, Halifax. Should you require additional information, please contact (902) 422-7790

Fall Harvest
October in Atlantic Canada means harvesting corn, potatoes, carrots and squash, picking apples and pumpkins and viewing the changing colors associated with the fall season. A drive through just about any rural road in Prince Edward Island or the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia to see the pumpkin people, pick apples or walk through a pumpkin patch remind us of a bountiful harvest. They also remind us that our God is a God of abundance, not a God of scarcity. We offer our prayers for good weather and adequate rainfall so that the fields and gardens may be fruitful, yield their increase and provide food for all of God’s creatures.
We should also pray that we may be good stewards of God’s bounty so that it is distributed in such a way that all God’s creatures are cared for and fed. A common table grace goes like this: “Come, Lord Jesus, be our Guest and let these gifts to us be blest.”
God is good and His goodness is seen in many ways and during the fall season it is seen in the bounty that the earth produces. May we be good stewards of that bounty and all the other gifts of time, talent and treasure that God entrusts to us to manage according to His purposes for the benefit of all His creatures!
