Cargo ship crews spend months at a time away from home, often completely out of touch with loved ones. Their lives can be uncomfortable, lonely, and even dangerous, and they tend to be a forgotten population.

Our annual Ditty Bag Program is one way we thank these people for all they do to bring us goods and produce from all over the world. A Ditty Bag offers some practical gifts and treats, from toiletries to toothpaste to candy, and -– just as important –- it is an expression of thanks and encouragement.

We deeply appreciate the many churches, businesses, and individuals who contribute to the Ditty Bag Project.
