By collecting aluminum pop tabs for us to recycle you can help with the operating expenses of the House, making a difference in the lives of those who stay here.

     This is an ideal project for groups, clubs, and schools.  The project teaches math concepts and is beneficial, not only to our families, but the environment as well.  Pop tabs are easy to collect and this is a great program for children to get involved and make a genuine contribution to helping others.  The tabs are easily removed, and cleaner to collect than cans, enabling the House to handle large volumes with less storage space required.
