Operation Christmas Child Processing Center Filler | How to Prepare and How to Pack 📦

[@vbo9872]

It's very clear the personal sacrifice you've made preparing your very MANY shoeboxes and boxes of filler, financially so and time wise. All driven by your love for God's precious children. Thank you, bless you.

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much for noticing! I think everyone who does OCC sacrifice a lot. But we genuinely enjoy it. Yes, I really hope the children will be happy with their gifts and give them smiles even for a brief moment. Thanks again!

Awesome. I hope you make a video of what a typical box looks like coming through at the processing center so your viewers understand the importance of filling the boxes. Thanks

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks Gesiriech! I tried to do a video in the first 2 shifts I've done at the processing center but it has been really busy!! I'll try next time. It is really important to fill the shoeboxes full. Thanks again!

Wow! Just amazing! I think you and Denise, single-handedly, have supplied the Baltimore PC with their filler ❤️❤️❤️

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks Trish! LOL, I wish our filler was enough to supply filler needed for the processing center. But it's just a drop in the bucket. Thanks again!

Your fillers are beautiful! You are so generous. Looking forward to your PC experience this year.

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Maritza! I will be packing more for my future volunteer shifts at the processing center this year. I hope to do a quick video as well. Thanks again!

Really great job, Sharon! Sad to say I didn’t send filler this year…I’m disappointed in myself for that, but I did pack 76 very full boxes! I’m going to start earlier in 2023 with my filler. 😊

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks, Morgan! Don't be disappointed. At least your shoeboxes you've sent are not need of filler so that's a great thing! Happy Holidays!

Sharon, you're just amazing! so much love has gone into your fillers... i feel so blessed knowing you, truly! it just warms my heart that some of the boxes will get some extra needed love... thank you! hugs to you dear friend! 💖💖💖

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Niki! I can say the same for you and your love and effort in your shoeboxes and filler. Hugs to you as well, dear friend!

WOW!!! I’m so amazed with all of your filler! Love the plush & baby dolls! Great Wow items for a child! Keep us in the loop please when you find great deals 💕 You always find the best ones! Thanks for sharing!!

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much! The plush and the baby dolls are my favorite too. Sadly, as you know, there are a lot of shoeboxes lacking wow items at the processing center. So a variety of filler is needed. Of course, I will keep everyone in the loop for deals. But quite honestly, the finds are usually from the deals OCC FB groups share! Thanks again!

[@morethanashoebox4482]

that’s ok! Please share! I’ve a member of many groups, but sometimes we miss these great deals :) Thank you for sharing again!

Awesome fillers here, Sharon! I believe your processing center will not be in need of fillers this year or the following years to come, as I know you will continue this on for years to come. Those baby dolls are absolutely precious. The pencil packs with calculators are my favorite...what a help those will be in the boxes that need something. Great idea taking those masks with you...good point about the pollution and not just for the one use we think of them for. I'm so glad you are able to help out at the PC and I'm sure your PC is just as happy to have you there. 💗 I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.🦃🙂

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Diana! Lol, I wish my processing center will not need fillers but this is just a drop in the bucket unfortunately. Love the baby dolls too! I wish I can pack more calculators. There were a lot of face masks in the filler and they were definitely packed. I'm so glad I can help at the PC and it's closer to me this year. Hope you and your family are feeling better! Talk soon, friend!

So awesome love your videos.God Bless you 💝💙💖

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Brenda! God Bless you as well!

[@drogers]

You have a kind and giving heart. So much wonderful filler! I hope I get some in my bins when processing this year! Love all the pencil packs and baby dolls! Soap and washcloth is a great idea! Great idea adding the jump ropes to the packs! Good suggestion about the white clothing in a bag! Oh those stuffies are awesome! I’ve been looking for those dry erase boards with no luck. That’s a lot and a good variety of amazing filler! Thanks for sharing! See you at the PC soon!!!

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Denise! I can say the same for you! I was so thrilled to see your filler go to my table the other day. Hope to get more Friday and Saturday. Love the baby dolls too. I hope there will be another sale of them next year. So far, most clothing that was donated were of color so they look fine at my table. Happy about that! The dry erase boards sell fast! See you Friday, Denise! Can't wait!

Great fillers!

[@eastcoaststories]

Thanks so much, Elena!

I love new filler ideas, please keep them coming 🎉

Where do you get the tall,, durable top-loading zip lock bags? They look very durable. I used organza bags for mine which looked very attractive, but I was concerned about durability.
