We all take a trip to the supermarket for granted these days. The technology even exists to have groceries delivered to our door within the hour, with just a few taps on a phone screen.  But imagine you’re in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and run short! Imagine you don’t have enough time while in port to get off, find a shop, and buy what you vitally need. This is the reality faced by seafarers and is felt even more acutely around birthdays and Christmas time, when presents are at a premium, if appearing at all. I’m sure you can imagine how this might feel. Fortunately, with your help, we are able to help bridge this gap.

How do I (or my church) send them?
