Operation Christmas Child counts on new in-kind donations to ensure each shoebox gift is full and of the highest quality. We use donated items from organizations and businesses as filler items to replace products that may harm a child, damage the shoebox, or create a problem in customs during shipment. Most in-kind donations we receive are discontinued, imperfect, or overrun items that companies can’t sell, but would make great gifts for children in need around the world.
It’s Easy to Give Back Through In-Kind Donations
You can donate anytime during the year! We’ll provide free pickup and shipping from most locations for donations of one pallet or more. Contact us using the form at the bottom of this page to see if you qualify. Your donation is tax-deductible.
You can also donate services such as transportation. Millions of shoeboxes are collected at thousands of drop-off sites, and we have to move those shoeboxes to our processing centers to be sorted and shipped.
The list below includes more suggestions for items and services you can donate.
