Volunteer at a Processing Center
Before the millions of shoebox gifts collected each year can bring hope and joy to children around the world, each one has to be carefully inspected and made ready for international shipment by volunteers like you. Tens of thousands of volunteers serve annually at eight shoebox processing centers across the United States. Whether you’re interested in serving as an individual or with a group of any size, sign up now to have a direct part in blessing children overseas with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Before you serve, check out our COVID-19 landing page to see the precautions Operation Christmas Child is taking to help protect the health of our volunteers.
