CHRISTMAS ON THE RIVER
Christmas on the River is an outreach program of Ministry on the River. Gift boxes are delivered to towboat crews who typically work 28-30 days at a time, regardless of holidays. This program lets those who can’t be home Christmas day know that they are not forgotten.
Gift boxes are packed at numerous locations up and down the rivers and include hand knit scarves or a small gift from Seamen’s Church Institute, a devotional, and hand-made Christmas cards from children. Other items may include home made cookies, candy, puzzle books, DVD and VCR movies, paperback books, jigsaw puzzles, etc.
