Serve at Our Processing Center
Before the thousands of OCC gift boxes 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. Hundreds of volunteers serve annually at our OCC gift box processing center in December.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every volunteer plays an important role in the ministry of Operation Christmas Child, ensuring the integrity and successful delivery of the gift boxes. At the Samaritan’s Purse Packing Party event, volunteers form teams responsible for packing gift boxes, taping them shut, transferring them into designated cartons and restocking gift items which are to be packed into the boxes.
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to volunteer. Underage volunteers are advised to attend with a chaperone who can ensure they follow all safety guidelines. In any case where underage volunteers or their chaperones do not act in accordance with the safety guidelines, Samaritan’s Purse staff reserve the right to ask any individual to leave the warehouse at any time.
Packing an OCC gift box or hosting an OCC gift box Packing Party with their friends is an excellent way to be involved in Operation Christmas Child.
The volunteer venue is in a large active setting, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes. This would include comfortable shoes as you should be prepared to stand on your feet for the majority of the time.
