Tabs for Ronald McDonald House

We discovered that our local Girl Scout troops collect tabs for the RMH. All can top tabs that are aluminum are collected. (Soda, beer, soup cans, vegetables cans etc.)

Why tabs? 1.) They are clean without food residue on them 2.) They take up less space and 3.) There is a higher concentration of aluminum in the tab.

How are they used? These tabs are turned into recycling for cash.

What is the cash used for? The cash is used for extras that are needed at the RMH.  Families can stay free at these houses while their child is in the hospital. The cost runs about $140/night.  The extra money pays for things to help the families stay.

Our grandchildren’s infant brother has spent most of his 3.5 months in the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. His parents and siblings can stay at the RMH for free. The tabs help pay for things to make their stay more comfortable.

It is easy to do…. Just bring your tabs to church and put them in the collection bin. You can even put a collection container in a break room where you work, then bring them to church.  How ever you collect them, if you only bring 5 or 500, bring them to church.  It might not be too many, but every little bit helps! Thank you!
