Help us continue our personal shopping trips for quarantined crews.  These Supply Chain Heroes who have kept our store shelves stocked need our help more than any other time.

Right now COVID restrictions make it nearly impossible for seafarers to come ashore to purchase necessary items.  SCW staff and volunteers have been running shopping errands for the isolated crews.  Shopping for items such as clothing, vitamins, specialty food & beverages, workout equipment, and Amazon gift cards so they may place their own orders. 

Your compassionate support of our mission is truly making a difference in the quality of life aboard these vessels.

Thank you for continuing to support SCW's mission.
