Pull Pop Tabs for Kids

Why save pop tabs?
Saving pop tabs from aluminum cans is an easy and environmentally friendly way of supporting the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House. You can store them in containers to be transported to the House and they don’t take up alot of room. This program began in Minneapolis where the community collected One Million (1,000,000) pop tabs. It has since spread to Ronald McDonald Houses throughout the country! Last year the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House collected over $17,000.00!
What do they do with the pop tabs?
The pop tabs are turned in for their recycling value after being collected by student groups, auxiliaries, service clubs (like the Fraternal Order of Eagles) and children and their families. Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California operates both the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House which is a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill and injured children who are being treated at Sacramento-area hospitals ad Camp Ronald McDonald at Eagle Lake, a camp for children with disabilities and/or disadvantages. The proceeds collected from recycling the pop tabs go into the Adopt-A-Family fund to help subsidize the cost of families staying at the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House.
What does it take to collect pop tabs?
If you drink Soda and want to help children, it is pretty easy to collect pop tabs. Please recycle your entire aluminum can, but save the pop tab for Ronald McDonald House. A simple sandwich bag on the side of your regridgerator is enough to get you and your faily started. As your bag fills, you can turn them in at the House. For larger groups, use containers with wide mouths such as oatmeal boxex, paper milk cartons or coffee cans.

Pop Tabs
The Pop Tab Program began when a community in Minneapolis collected one million pop tabs to recycle as a fundraiser and the trend has since spread to hundreds of Ronald McDonald Houses across the country.
A pop tab is the small metal tab on the top of aluminum beverage cans. The Sacramento Ronald McDonald House collects these pop tabs to recycle and puts these proceeds towards the Adopt-A-Family Program. This fund helps subsidize the cost of families staying at the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House.
The House receives thousands of pop tabs each year collected by families, church groups, service clubs, auxiliaries, and student organizations.
Saving pop tabs from aluminum cans is an easy and environmentally-friendly way of supporting the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House. A simple plastic bag on the side of your refrigerator is an easy way to get started. As your bag fills, you can drop them off or mail them to the Sacramento Ronald McDonald House. For larger groups, use containers with wide mouths such as oatmeal boxes, paper milk cartons and coffee cans. You can event print out our label and attach it to the side of your container with clear tape.
