Friendship Club
Cleveland County’s Extension Homemakers Friendship Club took a visit to the Ronald Mc‐ Donald House in Little Rock, Arkansas to pick up Ronald Mc‐ Donald tab collection boxes in the shape of a house to put out in different locations around Cleveland County. The tab col‐lection box recycles beverage tabs to help support your local Ronald McDonald house. It takes approximately 1,128 pop tabs to equal one pound.
The Ronald McDonald house typically receives between $0.40 to $0.50 per pound of pop tabs. This program brings in an average of $6,000 each year. Last year over 13 million pop tabs were donated!
More than just soda pop tabs are accepted. The tabs can come from energy drinks, soup cans, or anything with a metallic tab. The tab collection box can be found at Gateway Bank, FBT Bank, and the lobby of the Cleveland County Courthouse. The Ronald McDonald House is a temporary home away from home for seriously ill children being treated at nearby hospi‐tals.
