Seattle Seafarers Center, An Affiliate of The Mission to Seafarers
50% of our raffle will go to the Seattle Seafarers Center

• The Seattle Seafarers Center (the Center) provides a vital role caring for the well-being of seafarers who visit major ports of the inland waters of the Puget Sound.

• The mission of the Center is to welcome and care for seafarers who visit Puget Sound. The Center provides that care through ship visits and transportation, connecting crews with vaccine providers in Puget Sound (e.g., Discovery Health), and offering communication tools (SIM cards) and other basic necessities (e.g., shopping) for seafarers.

• In addition, the Center fosters leadership and vocational development through its internship program. Finally, the Center regularly engages in outreach with local communities to raise up the visibility of seafarers. Outreach is focused first on local communities of faith, and we are beginning to expand to other partners in the maritime industry such as the Seattle Propeller Club. We also work with local communities of faith to sponsor an annual holiday ditty bag drive.
