Pop tab collections
You see them every time you open up a soft drink or soup, sometimes even find them when you feed your pet. Those tiny little tabs are easy to overlook, but they can make a BIG impact on the families at Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte!
Though small, tabs are clean and easy to collect - and they add up fast. The House takes tabs into local recycling centers and exchange the tabs for money for our guest family fund! Although it costs the House approximately $142 a night to shelter a family in medical crisis. Families are invited to make only a small financial donation, but many cannot afford to contribute anything at all. The money from pop tabs helps to ensure that we are able to accommodate every guest, regardless of their ability to pay. |
Our House encourages schools, organizations, businesses and small groups to take on the "Million Tab Challenge" to support guest families. It takes approximately 1,000 tabs to make one pound - why not try to collect 1,000 pounds? Click on the links below to download information about the Million Tab Challenge and to register your team for the challenge (email completed form to Kristin Young) - you can even download instructions to make your own pop tab collection House!
