First, start collecting those Pop Tabs!
Your Aluminum can tabs go a long way with Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha. Those tabs, when recycled, help defray the operational costs. The seemingly insignificant tab you use to open your soft drink is important to Ronald McDonald House. Last year, they recycled an estimated 35 million pop tabs. These tabs came from school children, businesses, community organizations & people just like you!
If you already have pop tabs to donate, Giving Back will be bringing a donation on August 19th...which brings us to the 2nd part! Serving Dinner!
Second, we will be serving dinner at the Ronald McDonald House on Wednesday, August 19th at 6pm.
They only allow 8 volunteers to come in at a time (there are already 20-30 people there, so we don't want to overwhelm them) but there are many ways to help...We need people to: purchase groceries, prepare the meal & then serve the food.
Please email me at karla_bates@hotmail.com or comment on this blog if you can help!
Here are some FUN FACTS about Pop Tabs:
- One pound of tabs is about 1,500 tabs
- Each tab measures about 1 inch, so when placed end to end, there are 12 tabs in a foot & 40 in a meter
- To reach a mile, when placing tabs end to end, it would take 63,360
- 1 million tabs end to end would stretch 16.75 miles
Remember, start saving those pop tabs! Giving Back will be going back to serve dinner again in November & we will take another donation then!
