When Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week ends, those of us who are in charge of a Collection Center take a moment to catch our breath before heading down to the Processing Center to volunteer. The Processing Center we visited was open from November 24th to December 18th and processed over 700,000 shoeboxes! Here is a behind-the-scenes look at volunteering at the Processing Center and a few tips as well!
We’re getting into the holiday spirit here at MadeCreatively by releasing a brand-new product! It’s the ‘Merry Christmas’ Card and features the phrase in 18 different languages on the cover. Perfect for writing a personal note and including in your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
