Highland Packaging Solutions provided gifts to children in need Friday, Dec. 11. Highland Packaging Solutions supports the King Cottage at Florida Baptist Children’s Home in Lakeland. The King Cottage is an emergency shelter where kids are placed temporarily until their home situation improves, they get placed with other family members or a permanent spot opens up for them at the children’s home. The King Cottage takes children as young as 6 years old, up to 21 year olds.
Each year, staff stuffs croker sacks with gifts for the children who are currently at King Cottage. The croker sacks are decorated by employees and submitted for a contest. Among those who judged this year were Police Chief Ed Duncan and Fire Chief Dan Azzariti.
