The Sea Tow Foundation - a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading awareness of safe boating practices - has announced that those passionate about boating and saving lives through life jacket use, can apply to host a loaner station, or restock one in their community.

As part of a grant administered through the U.S. Coast Guard's Sport Fish Restoration & Boating Trust Fund, the Sea Tow Foundation has received funding to work with communities throughout the U.S. to add at least 50 new Life Jacket Loaner Stations and restock hundreds of existing stations for the 2021 boating season.

Any organization, company, or family that is interested in receiving life jackets or adding a Life Jacket Loaner Station to their area, can fill out the application on the Sea Tow Foundation’s website. Applications will be accepted until February 1, 2021.
