This might be the most incredible processing center video I’ve ever seen in terms of enlightening us on how gifts in kind get processed and utilized. Thank you so much for doing this. It’s so eye-opening. 😮❤

Very informative! I’ve sent quite a bit of filler over the last 4-5 years. I didn’t know they had to assign a monetary value to each item.

I love love love OCC! I shop all year round for good quality low price items to pack! I always send a picture and note. My 8 year old granddaughter loves to pack shoe boxes also! She is a big help in shopping and packing. This is my mission work for our LORD!  He has blessed me so much because He lets me do this for Him!

This is so neat! Love seeing the inside workings of the PC! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this video about the filler processing! Was very interesting to learn all about how they get processed, counted, logged and put out to be used. I’m loving seeing every step of the whole OCC process getting shoeboxes to the children! ❤❤❤❤❤

Great job, Nichole! This was very informative on the filler processing! ❤

Hi Nicole, Thank you for sharing your OCC Processing Experiences. I have enjoyed this series of Vids. especially seeing the behind the scenes of Filler Processing. This year, I have also worked behind the scenes. One of my tasks was sorting hand-made clothing items, including beanies (knitted hats), skirts and shorts. I would often put the beanies on with any that were too tight allocated to 5-9s. Skirts and shorts were checked for appropriate fabric and length - both for modesty. Other items like bags were sorted by size from marble bags (and the like) to extra-large tote bags.  And a team of year-round volunteers maintain an inventory of items with periodic stocktakes of every item ... At the end -of -the -day OCC is a business and this gives a whole new definition to more than a shoebox!

This is a great video. So many ideas flying through my head as I watched it. I tried to be more intentional this past year with fillers but felt like like I could do better. So very motivating.  Thanks so much!

I just started collecting filler to drop off next year.  This is great information.  BUT I wish SP would put more effort into educating people on how to properly fill a box in the first place so that less filler is needed.

Thank you so much for giving us a tour! 💝God Bless you and yours...

Wonderful and informative video! Thanks for sharing! 🎉

Hello Kit.Nicole: Is this video from the Calgary Processing Center?  This video was absolutely eye-opening, enlightening, educational, informative and most needed for all of us who pack OCC shoeboxes and for those of us who volunteer at the Processing Center.  Thank you for this most informative video. Saturday March 28/2026.

I did not realize that filler items are priced, I'm going to keep prices on things  in 2026,  theyll then take the price off.  Thanks!! for sharing.

Excellent information shared. Thanks!!  Looks likes the Canadian process centre is doing good work!

This is so cool

That GIK processing table with all the bins of school supplies to put into packs and wrapping bags etc would be the perfect spot for me to work. I have autism with servere sensory and executive functioning challenges, and working amougst the central area with the crowd of pepole and noise would be overwhelming for me and take a big toll on the amount of time I can work there.  With the GIK area, I would be able to last longer and not burn out or meltdown. I know they say you can’t ask for a specific job and you’ll be put where they say, but I’ve also heard of pepppe who can’t stand much being allowed sitting jobs so maybe I can ask for disability accommodations.

Great video Nicole! I don’t think they itemize personal GIK in the U.S. but now I’m really curious! I hope to find out this year! Thanks for sharing the beauty of fillers and how they bless a box!

This was so great! Thanks for all the insight and behind the scenes! So it sounds like filler is needed and appreciated!?

What a great video! This was really interesting and I wonder if the Samaritan's Purse in the US has the same process. That filler is beautiful! TFS!
