SUMMER OUTREACH PROJECT
Port of Palm Beach Seafarers’ Center
Did you know, 90% of everything we use in our daily lives comes to us through the labor of those from 80+ countries who work on the worldwide oceans and U.S. inland waterways.
The Port of Palm Beach Seafarers’ Center is open year-round and offers a welcoming place to all those who work at or serve the greater Port of Palm Beach community. The Seafarers’ Center is a place to rest and recharge, connect with families, friends and the community, and when needed, receive emergency assistance.
From June 1 to August 31, we will be accepting donations of toiletries for the seafarers. Donated items can be placed in or around the ship located across from the gift shop.
Items most needed:
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Body Wash
Though some hotels are no longer placing mini-toiletries in their rooms, you may be able to request them at the desk. Another alternative is to purchase larger sizes at Dollar Tree.
And, heads-up: Seafarers also appreciate billed caps and blankets.
No need to purchase these specially, but if you have one you do not need, please also place it next to the ship.
Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful summer wherever you may go.
And don’t forget to bring back a little something -- or somethings -- for the seafarers!
