So...how can you help the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® support more than 2,350 families each year? Collecting soda pop tabs is one E-A-S-Y way! It's simple. It's low cost. It's a great way to get involved. Because of the community support for programs such as this, families can stay here for no more than $15 a night. This program at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® began in 1997. That year we collected 8,417 pounds of tabs. Last year in 2007 we collected 27,201pounds of tabs. To date, the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® has collected over 141 tons of tabs which translates into more than $109,320 since the program started eleven years ago. There are no "magic" collection containers. We've seen coffee cans, pretzel jugs, milk cartons all used as collection containers for pop tabs. If you stop by the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® to drop off tabs we would be happy to give you labels for your container to put around your home or workplace.
