Kids ranging from 2 to 14 will receive these boxes. Collection coordinator Paulette Adams says they have already collected more than 1,800 shoeboxes. Adams says, "People just feel generous and they want to open their hearts and just provide children anywhere in the world with a little bit of hope and a smile and a laugh at Christmas time."

South Central Minnesota's box drop off location is at Hilltop United Methodist Church. The donation deadline is at 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon.
