Free
Join us as we volunteer at the Southern California processing center for Operation Christmas Child on December 12th! We will be carefully inspecting Christmas shoeboxes, packing them and preparing them for their overseas shipment.
Contact Curtis Smith here to get involved or sign up in the church lobby!
Instructions & Information
Our shift will be from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Our goal is to arrive at the processing center early so that there’s time for everyone to check-in. This means we will be meeting at the facility at 6:45pm (4200 Bonita Pl. Fullerton CA 92835).
Please read below. These are important things for you to be aware of for our visit to the OCC Processing Center. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. Thanks so much for wanting to volunteer!
TASKS
We will be responsible for removing financial contributions from the shoeboxes, inspecting the gifts, sorting inappropriate items, working with filler items, separating boxes by age and gender, and boxing shoeboxes in designated cartons. Due to the fast-paced environment of the warehouse and changing needs, you may be asked to do different tasks. Please be flexible.
AGE
Due to the warehouse environment, all volunteers must be at least 13 years of age, regardless of a student’s grade level.
WHAT TO WEAR
It is best to be prepared with closed-toe shoes appropriate for standing for long periods, and warm, layered, casual clothes as the temperature inside can vary. Breaks are available as needed.
FOOD
A break area in the processing center has vending machines and space to store your meals and snacks. Ice is not provided; however, you may bring your own coolers. All food and drinks must remain inside the break area. Please be advised that tobacco products are prohibited on the property.
PLEASE NOTE
Bags and coolers are subject to being searched. Headphones are not permitted in the processing center. We, nor Operation Christmas Child are not responsible for the damage or loss of personal items.
