Tabs to support Ronald’s house
Kate Kaplan is collecting pop top tabs to support the work of the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte located at 1613 E. Morehead St.
She has asked that members bring their tabs to Havurat Tikvah services and events so she can collect them. When enough are accumulated, she will ferry them over to the Charlotte house.
According to Ronald McDonald House, the tabs convert into cash. “The House takes tabs into local recycling centers and exchange the tabs for money for our guest family fund! Although it costs the House approximately $89 a night to shelter a family in medical crisis, families are invited to make only a small financial donation — many cannot afford to contribute anything at all. The money from pop tabs helps to ensure that we are able to accommodate every guest, regardless of their ability to pay,” the charity said.
Kaplan remarked that her experience with the charity was positive, saying “I can’t say enough good things about them.” Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte provides families with a safe, comfortable and supportive environment during their child’s medical treatment.
