They are at my child's school collecting for their shoeboxes. I suspect that school don't know who OCC are actually collecting for and what their actual motives are.

I am going to use the letter template from Humanists UK and suggest other charities without ulterior motives that run shoebox appeals.

Thing is - who should i approach? I could raise my concerns at Reception but I also will send letters to the head and the governors - I don't want people donating money and goods not knowing what the actual motive is for.

e.g. Plan UK, Aquabox, Link to Hope, Mary's Meals, Oxfam to name a few.
Wish me luck

I don't know who OCC are, should I?

They are part of Samaritan's Purse - an evangelical organizaton linked to the Grahams. Amongst other things they are hugely homophobic and anti abortion and use the shoeboxes to evangelize people.

Humanists UK has a more thorough description of OCC.
