Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Drop-Off

About this event

Join Countryside YMCA and Antioch Church in sharing the love of Christ with children around the world through Operation Christmas Child® , a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse.

Each year, thousands of gift-filled shoeboxes packed by families, churches, and community members are collected at the Y and sent to children in need. Together with local partners—including Faith World Outreach Church, Loveland United Methodist Church, Christ Presbyterian Church, and New Life Fellowship—we’ve been able to bless more than 28,000 children over the years!

📦 How to participate:

• Pack a shoebox gift for a boy or girl (ages 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14).

• Include a $10 donation to help with shipping and ministry costs.

• Attach your label and drop off your box at Countryside YMCA between November 19–22, 2026.

Together, we can make a lasting difference—one shoebox at a time.
