Seafarers who come ashore at Port Everglades this December will have a little something new in the boxes that the Fort Lauderdale Seafarers' House gives out each Christmas.

Last weekend, more than a dozen volunteers from the house, the Grind Kindness Rocks Project and the Church by the Sea met at a coffee shop to paint stones with pictures and messages for inclusion in shoeboxes that the house distributes to mariners.
