Shoebox Drop-Off Locations

National Collection Week
November 18–24, 2019

During National Collection Week, nearly 400 drop-off locations will be open across Canada to receive your shoebox gifts. Don’t forget to make your $10-per-shoebox donation.

If you don’t see a drop-off location near you, don’t worry. Check back often as we will continue to add locations throughout the fall.

Throughout the year you can Pack Shoeboxes Online, or mail your gift-filled shoebox to our office at 20 Hopewell Way NE, Calgary, AB, T3J 5H5.

We are always looking to increase our collection points, so if you know of any churches that might be interested in fulfilling this vital role, please visit:

Greyhound Update

For many years, Samaritan’s Purse has been blessed by our partnership with Greyhound Canada. The company has helped us transport tens of thousands of Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes, packed by generous people like you, to a processing center for inspection. We are grateful for this partnership and how it has brought joy to children in need around the world. Effective October 31, 2018 Greyhound announced the end of its western Canada bus routes and will only be operating from Sudbury, Ontario eastward. Operation Christmas Child no longer has a partnership with Greyhound in Canada, so if this decision will affect you we may be able to suggest alternate ways to get your shoeboxes to us. Please contact us at 1-800-303-1269 or email us at occ@samaritan.ca for assistance.
