Collecting aluminum pop tabs is a fun and easy way to support the families staying at Ronald McDonald Houses. Tabs are recycled, and the funds help families right here in the DMV area.

HOW IT WORKS

1) Become an Ambassador
Ask your family, friends, school, church, or company to collect tabs with you.

2) Collect Pop Tabs
Save the tabs from every aluminum can in a container (coffee can, milk jug, bag, etc.).

3) Donate Your Tabs
Drop them off at one of our two Ronald McDonald House locations:

  • Washington, DC — near Children’s National Hospital
  • Northern Virginia — on the campus of Inova L.J. Murphy Children’s Hospital

Every tab helps a family stay close.

Every small act adds up.
