Operation Christmas Child
August Update: Shoebox Season is Here!
4 August 2025
Franklin Graham shares how packing shoebox gifts with your children or grandchildren can teach generosity, grow faith, and help share the Good News of Jesus.
Operation Christmas Child Australia and New Zealand counts on thousands of volunteers to collect and process hundreds of thousands of shoebox gifts every year. These volunteers take on many roles, all with one wonderful purpose: to bring the Gospel to children in need around the world.
Be a part of preparing and packing shoebox gifts for transportation at one of our three regional Processing Centres! It’s the last stop in the shoebox journey before international shipment.
Year-round volunteers with Operation Christmas Child are part of a local team that promotes and fosters community involvement with this global Samaritan’s Purse project.
Seasonal volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year. Check out the various practical ways you could get involved.
