Supporting Seamen’s Institute
Christ Church is committed to providing 25 Ditty Bags to the Seamen’s Institute. These bags will go to Seafarers in the upcoming holidays who are living on cargos ships, often isolated and unable to return home to their families for months. Seafarers work hard to bring us goods and produce from all over to world to the Delaware River Ports.
