“Industrial Plastic Systems’ creation of our giant red kettle has become more than a display; it is a powerful symbol of The Salvation Army’s mission in Lakeland. Whether it’s ushering in Santa at our annual Kettle Kickoff or rolling through the streets of downtown with excited children during the Christmas parade, this kettle helps us tell our story in a way that captures hearts and sparks joy. It has been an incredible tool in spreading hope, generosity, and the message of what The Salvation Army is all about” –Captain Matt Hedgren, Corps Officer, The Salvation Army of West Polk County
