Kettle Coordinator - Polk

You may know The Salvation Army for our red kettles, our angel trees, and our strong presence during the Christmas season, but we support local families every season. The donations we collect during the Christmas season not only help us provide gifts to children who would otherwise go without but also help us provide food, shelter, and utility assistance to those who need it most. Every dollar dropped into a red kettle helps give local families the Christmases they deserve and the yearlong support they so desperately need.
