Help Ronald McDonald
House by donating your pull tabs! Pop tabs are
recycled and the money purchases household items for the nearly 600
families who stay annually at the Ronald McDonald House while their
child is in a Buffalo hospital.
The Pop Tab Program is a perfect way for
famlies, businesses, schools, clubs., etc., to help these families!
Collect the pull tabs from your beverage cans, vegetable
and soup cans, pet food, special diet containers, etc.,
and donate them to:
Ronald McDonald House
780 West Ferry Street
Buffalo 14222
-or-
drop them off at our Channel 2 studios and we'll deliver them:
WGRZ
259 Delaware Avenue
Buffalo, NY 14202
I keep a small container in my kitchen for the pull tabs and my
kids know to pull the tab off and place it in there! Though we
don't drink a lot of pop, I'm always surprised how many tabs we
collect - on the cat food, soup, etc. I deliver the tabs once or
twice a year -- an inexpensive way to give!

Everyone in our car club saves them and we turn them in regularly.
We've been doing it for quite a while. I don't recall how or when
we started.

That's awesome! Who would think something we throw away could be so
valuable to a non profit? Last year those pop tabs helped raise
over $3,000!

I also have been saving tabs for quite a while and my friend's
husband also saves them for me. However, I've been giving them to
yet another close friend who takes them to a kidney foundation. She
had a friend on dialysis who has passed away. My son's best man for
his wedding has had a kidney transplant within the last couple of
years. He is only 30 and this gave him a second chance in life.
Ronald MacDonald House is 5 minutes away from me, but I've been
unaware of their needs so thank you for enlightening me. Maybe I
can split the tabs for both causes!

Just received another container full of tabs from my friend. This
time I will donate them to The Ronald McDonald House; it's about 5
minutes from my house so it will be no problem to drop them off.
Glad to do what I can to help out!

THANK YOU to everyone who has dropped off their
pull tabs (to us here at WGRZ or directly to Ronald McDonald House)
-- I delivered the pull tabs collected by WGRZ employees as well as
members of WNYMoms and received this thank you, which I wanted to
share with you. Keep collecting them, they are put to good
use!

Just took a bag full of pull tabs to Ronald McDonald House and got
another thank you (similar to the one above) for WNYMoms donating
pull tabs!
Save your pull tabs and donate them to Ronald McDonald
House --- they take them to Metalico Buffalo and the
recycling center sends them a check that they use to serve the
families who stay with them. Thank you mi3suns for the bag of pull
tabs --- I'll be delivering them soon!

Thanks for dropping them off! School used to collect them for
charity so there's still some people who still drop them off so I
just pass them on to you. It's a great cause.
