Collecting pull tabs is a simple way for even the smallest child to make a big difference. By donating your baggies, boxes and cans of tabs to Ronald McDonald House, you’re helping to provide a “home away from home” for families during what could be the most trying time of their lives. When a child is hospitalized and scared, the love and support of family is powerful in helping a child's recovery process. Ronald McDonald House allows families to remain close by their children receiving medical treatment. Just the Facts

-We receive the going rate for aluminum, which changes as the demand changes - varying from rates of 23 to 52 cents per pound on any given period.
-We average about 450 pounds every 10 days, or approximately $234.
-Every penny helps families stay at the House -- $10 pays for one family for one night!
