We began collecting aluminum tabs several months ago and were recently able to donate over 20 pounds to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House! 

The Ronald McDonald House works with local recycling centers to receive money for collecting tabs from aluminum cans - including those from soda cans, vegetable and soup cans, and pet food cans.

Thank you, Mr. Barr, for organizing this program at The Phelps School!

The Ronald McDonald House program began in 1974 based on a simple idea: Provide a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. Since that time, more than 10 million families around the world have benefited from the comfort provided by a Ronald McDonald House.

The Phelps School will continue to collect these tabs throughout the year. Feel free to collect them at home and/or at your office and drop them off in Rosengarten Hall at your convenience.
