Gabi,

We are encouraging people to make a donation of 50 cents per pre-printed shoe box to cover the cost of printing the actual box.

Diane,

ALL Drop Off Points will be published on the website by mid September.

Hi Gabi

Shoe shops will usually give you boxes particularly if you give them plenty of notice.

Hi Diane

Have you looked at this page for drop off points. I’m not sure if it’s been updated for 2009 but there’s a number to call.

Diane,

Call our hotline on 1 800 684 300 (AU) / 800 684 300 (NZ) to speak to your nearest Operation Christmas Child representative. They can let you know where to take your gift filled boxes.

You can use any empty medium sized shoe box for your gifts. If you need quantities of the pre-printed boxes – call the number above – they will be happy to assist.

I have always before, collected my boxes, free, from a lady at my craft, but, delivered them back to collection group nearbye to where I live.
Last year I discovered that this family were charging A50cents to collect the empty box from them. When I told my my friend, she said that they are not allowed to add this charge. This year they are again adding the same charge.
Can you tell me if you are now charging for the shoeboxes?
My friend passed away suddenly, 2 months ago, so now have to obtain them from somewhere else. Love this project. Gbi
