Shoebox Project Brings Holidays To Seafarers
T
he Maryland Port Administration (MPA) partnered with the
Baltimore International Seafarers’ Center to help bring a little
joy to those at sea during the holidays. Port-related businesses
got into the spirit of the “Seafarers’ Christmas Shoebox Project” by
providing shoeboxes of items ranging from mouthwash and lotion
to warm hats and gloves. The shoeboxes were gift-wrapped for
seafarers, while some additional items were donated to the center.
“We filled 52 boxes,” said MPA Outreach Coordinator Katrina
Y. Jones “I thought that was great since it was our first time. Our
employees did a great job of getting a variety of donations in.”

Bring Holiday
Cheer to
Dundalk Youth
M
ore than 100 people
crowded a youth service center
located near the Port of Baltimore’s Dundalk Marine
Terminal to sing songs with Santa in early December. The
center’s volunteer Board includes employees of various
Port-related businesses, including Ports America, Ian
International, Mediterranean Shipping Company and the
Maryland Port Administration.
“We participate in many different charity events,” said
Ports America Finance Manager David Burstein. “It feels
good helping people that are less fortunate.”
The holiday celebration consisted of caroling, crafts,
picture-taking and quality time with Santa, who resembled
Ports America’s Mark Montgomery.
“One of the things I realized is that many people don’t
have a place to go for the holidays — for them, this is their
Christmas celebration,” said Dundalk Youth Service Center
Executive Director Cheryl Marocco. “Ports America and
others in the Port community have been so good to us with
the support they have offered.”
