Online Shoebox Packing

This year, more than ever, Operation Christmas Child is seeking to spread Good News and great joy by delighting millions of precious children with shoebox gifts.  

If physically packing shoobox gifts is difficult for you or your group, Shoebox Online makes it easy to still get involved from home. Simply choose which category to pack for, select your gifts online, make your donation and we’ll pack and your shoebox gifts for you.
