Kids Pulling for Kids

Although Pop Tabs are small and easily discarded, when the entire community bands together to collect them, they really add up!  By collecting the tabs off your beverage cans, soup cans and even pet food cans and donating them to the House, even the youngest child in your family can feel the pride in community service.

2012-2013 School Pot Tab Contest has officially ended!

 

What are the Pop Tabs used for?
The Pop Tabs donated to the House are recycled at Rudy's Downtown Recycling.  Funds raised are used to offset Ronald McDonald House expenses such as laundry detergent, toilet paper and other consumables that families need on a daily basis.
