Thank you for your interest in volunteering in our New Zealand Processing Centre, helping to prepare this year's shoebox gifts for international shipping. Every shoebox gift that is donated needs to be carefully inspected, and we couldn't do this part of the process without the help of volunteers like you. You play a vital part in the journey of a shoebox to a child in need.

This year's Operation Christmas Child NZ Processing Centre will be located at Narrows Park - 442 Airport Road, Rukuhia, Waikato and will be open from 2 November 2024.

With thousands of shoebox gifts expected to go through the NZ Processing Centre we need many volunteers to assist with inspecting and preparing shoebox gifts to be sent to children overseas. Will you join us?
