The volunteer experience at Operation Christmas Child shoebox processing centers is fun and rewarding.

What do you do at a processing center?

At our Operation Christmas Child processing centers, you will work with hundreds of other volunteers to inspect shoeboxes and ensure that the contents are appropriate for children and meet customs regulations (as outlined in our how to pack a shoebox instructions).

Shoeboxes are also prepared for shipping and loaded into sea containers to begin their long journey to hurting children around the world.
