Welcome to the Operation Christmas Child Order Site
Prepare to pack your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes by ordering free resources. We’ll provide everything you need to get started this shoebox season—labels, posters, inspirational videos, and more. Each item will help you pack and send your shoebox gifts, as well as spread the word about Operation Christmas Child to your church, group, or community.
WHEN WILL MATERIALS SHIP? We will begin shipping all materials in September. However, if you require items sooner, we can ship earlier. To request this, please call: 1-800-303-1269 (between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time) or email: occmaterials@samaritan.ca
WELCOME TO THE OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD ORDER SITE
ONLINE ORDERING IS NOW CLOSED!
Online material ordering for 2019 has closed, but we are still taking phone orders from certain Canadian regions. You can still place an order by phone, so feel free to call us at 1-800-303-1269 (between Monday and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. mountain time) or send us an email.
Once we know your location, we’ll let you know how soon a courier can deliver the materials to your address. Based on your location, we may suggest alternatives for you, since we ship everything out of our Calgary headquarters.
Think outside the box! Other ideas to get materials faster:
- Rather than ordering and waiting for shoeboxes to arrive, visit a local mall or shoe store and ask for their surplus empty shoeboxes. It's faster, easier and good for the environment!
- Consider shopping at a local store and buying sturdy, clear, plastic storage containers for filling. This type of sturdy box can be used for years by the child and their family.
- If you only need resources like boy/girl labels or coloring sheets, you can download them right now from our resources page. Print at home or at your local library/school.
It's never too late to pack shoeboxes online
Running out of time, but still want to participate? Don't forget that you can pack shoeboxes all year-round, on our PackaBox.ca website.
