Pop tab collection program
Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, and raise funds to help children and their families at the same time, You can help support the Ronald McDonald House of Temple by collecting the little tabs you pull to open soda, soup or other aluminum cans. The funds generated from recycling these aluminum gems help offset the House's expenses. Collecting tabs can be an easy and fun project.

What happens to the tabs? When a large amount of tabs have accumulated at the House, the tabs are brought to the local recycling center. The money raised benefits the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Temple.
Why? Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and know they are making a difference for families and children. Where? The American Legion Post 317 in Jarrell, TX and the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Temple, Texas How does it help? The tabs do not pay for treatments or night stays - only house operations |

The Jarrell Post 317 American Legion Auxiliary is helping this very worthwhile Charity, collecting the tabs from all kinds of cans. The tab of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can, which contains paint and other residue. Recycling the tabs generates proceeds to donate to a local Ronald McDonald House. Please save your can tabs and turn them in to the American Legion. For more information, please contact DeNette at the American Legion, 512-746-5445.
