About Western Star Wholesale
A Family Business With a Heart for Every Shoebox
For over 30 years, Western Star Wholesale has helped families, churches and ministries fill more shoeboxes with gifts that last, at real wholesale prices.
Who We Are
We're a small, family-run business, not a big corporation. For over 30 years, families, schools, churches and businesses have trusted us for soccer balls, toys, school supplies and more.
One cause is closest to our hearts: Operation Christmas Child. Our family packs shoeboxes every year too. We know what it's like to stand in a store aisle wondering whether a toy will survive the trip, or break the first day a child plays with it. That's why we built our shop around shoebox packers.
What We Believe
Every dollar saved means another child reached. We know your ministry budget is a matter of stewardship, so we work hard to stretch it.
Quality matters. A ball that pops or a toy that breaks sends the wrong message to a child who's waited a long time for a gift. We'd rather send one thing that lasts than three that don't.
A soccer ball needs a pump. It sounds simple, but a flat ball with no way to fill it can't be played with. That's why our soccer ball bundles include a pump and needle.
Why Our Prices Are Lower
Because we manufacture and source our products directly, we can offer prices that others charge 2–3× for. And we don't spend millions on advertising and pass it on to you. We keep our prices low instead.
