Giving Tuesday – December 2, 2025
Give Hope This Giving Tuesday
Your generosity helps Anchor House continue serving the seafarers and port community of SeaPort Manatee every single day.
Every year, thousands of international seafarers step off their vessels at SeaPort Manatee carrying more than cargo—they carry months of separation from families, long workdays, and the weight of life at sea. At Anchor House, we have the privilege of welcoming them with compassion, hospitality, and the message of Christ’s love.
As we prepare for another year of ministry, we’re inviting you to be part of something meaningful. Giving Tuesday is a moment when individuals and communities come together to strengthen the work they believe in. For us, that work is simple yet profound: to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the entire port community.
​
Why Your Support Matters
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps ensure that Anchor House remains a steady presence at the port—open, welcoming, and equipped to serve. It allows us to:
-
Keep our doors open every day to crews from around the world
-
Maintain a safe and welcoming environment for worship, rest, and connection
-
Offer transportation, hospitality, and practical care with excellence
-
Provide Bibles, resources, and spiritual support in multiple languages
-
Sustain the operations that make frontline ministry possible
While much of what we do is visible—conversations in the lounge, rides to the store, shared meals, Bible studies—the foundation that makes all of it possible is often behind the scenes. Your support helps strengthen that foundation.
Your Gift Makes a Daily Impact
When you give, you help Anchor House remain:
-
A place of welcome for crews who have been at sea for months
-
A home base for longshoremen, truckers, and port personnel
-
A ministry hub that shares encouragement, prayer, and hope
-
A lighthouse of Christ’s love in one of the busiest and most diverse workplaces in our region
Every gift—large or small—contributes to the ongoing health and sustainability of this ministry. Your generosity helps ensure that the essential, everyday costs of running the mission never become barriers to serving the people who rely on us.
